Updating Track metadata

When you upload tracks to DISCO, we read every metadata field on the track, as long as the audio format (e.g. AIFF, MP3) of the track can embed metadata in a way that is readable. For more information, visit this article.

At a glance

DISCO uses the following fields to display metadata on the Track information page:

Viewing your Track metadata

You can access your metadata from the Track information page in three different ways:

• Open the Track menu (⋮) and select Edit track information.
  
• Hover over the 'i' icon on the Track, and select View full track info.
  
• Click on a Track to open it in the Explorer. Some* metadata fields will be displayed in the Track detail panel, and you can also click View full track info.
  *To customize which fields are displayed here, go to Settings & Account > My Settings > Display Settings > Choose metadata fields displayed in the Explorer.
  

All of the above options will open the track information page, with the Metadata tab selected.
