Media Meta
Media Meta is a macOS utility for viewing, editing, extracting, and removing metadata from audio and video files in batch.
What is Media Meta?
Media Meta is a native macOS utility for working with metadata in audio and video files. It helps users inspect and change common tags such as title, artist, album, artwork, dates, credits, comments, and location-related metadata without manually editing each file one by one. The app is aimed at people who organize personal media libraries, correct recording dates, prepare files for sharing, or remove embedded details they no longer want attached to a file. It also supports batch workflows, so multiple media items can be updated together instead of individually. In addition to editing tags, Media Meta can extract metadata and artwork from supported files and save edited copies to a separate location rather than overwriting the originals. Fireebok publishes the app for Mac users who need a focused metadata editor for everyday audio and video management.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Media Meta performs file-level changes that are consistent with its purpose as a media metadata editor. A practical safeguard is that it saves edited copies to another location instead of replacing the original files by default, which reduces the chance of accidental loss. Because the app can read and modify embedded media details, use it only on files you intend to organize, clean up, or prepare for sharing. Before making large batch edits or removing metadata, keep a copy of important originals so you can restore them if needed.
Recommendation: Keep Media Meta if you regularly edit media tags, correct dates, or remove embedded details from audio and video files. If you no longer use it, removing it is usually fine, but you may also want to review any exported or edited copies the app saved so you do not delete files you still need.
