Adding Series MetaData to Audio Files

Help & Support
,
1

so im very new to this scripting thing and couldnt find out how this is done. assume i have literally no skill or experience besides using windows file explorer.

im trying to add a meta data tag to a bunch of audio files so that AudioBookShelf can use that to parse the series and author properly.

i changed the author value just fine but the files dont have a series meta data tag.

i know its possible to add a metadata tag but i have no clue how.

any help?

I don't recognize a tag series. It might be a custom field. Could you post or link a demo file that contains it? PM would be fine as well.

i dont think i have a example either, all i know is audiobookshelf mentions it here.

and here is what it seems to show in audiobookshelf it self

This does not look like a standard tag. Can you try to edit this tag from audiobookshelf in one file and then check with Opus and/or an id3 tag editor to see where the value you set appears?

From audiobookshelf:

series and series-part aren't standard tags. Currently, there is no way to write these tags directly with Opus.

Mp3tag and foobar2000 can create and display them.

FFmpeg can write them:

@nodeselect
@nofilenamequoting

ffmpeg.exe -i "{filepath}" -metadata series="Hello World 1" -metadata series-part="Hello World 2" -codec copy "{filepath}.mp3"

ExifTool can read them.

thank you!

so the bottom command is run in just command line correct?

No, that's an Opus button.
