<title>Music metadata</title>
- <p></p>
+ <p>Digital music contains metadata that stores information in the
+ music file including the artist, album, year recorded, genre and more.
+ Almost all music purchased over the internet will have the metadata
+ already embedded and if you import music from CDs Banshee will include
+ the metadata when ripping the CD if available. For more information
+ on ripping CDs and including the metadata see the
+ <link type="guide" xref="import"/>.</p>
+
+ <p>Popular metadata formats are ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files and
+ x for OGG Vorbis files.</p>

+
+ <p>You can change and edit the metadata of your songs. Select the song or
+ songs you want to update and hit the <key>E</key>, from the menu choose
+ <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Edit Track Information</gui></guiseq> or use
+ your mouse and right click on the files and select
+ <gui>Edit Track Information</gui>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>A dialog box will appear that shows the song's metadata and allow you to
+ change or update it. The default fields displayed include:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item><p><gui>Track Title:</gui></p></item>
+ <item><p><gui>Track Artist</gui></p></item>
+ <item><p><gui>Album Title</gui></p></item>
+ <item><p><gui>Genre</gui></p></item>
+ <item><p><gui>Track Number</gui></p></item>
+ <item><p><gui>Disc Number</gui></p></item>
+ <item><p><gui>Year</gui></p></item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>Update the song's information. If you have selected multiple songs to
+ edit press the right arrow icon to the right of the <gui>Track Title</gui>
+ field or press the <gui>Forward</gui> button at the bottom of the dialog
+ when finished with each song. When you have completed editing all metadata
+ press <gui>Save</gui>.
