How to Add MetaData to Mp3's at Points in the File?


How would you add annotations/metadata to an mp3 file at certain points of the file, much like how SoundCloud does it? For example, if I had a 3 minute long mp3, and I wanted to add an annotation at the 1:10 mark of the file with a note of "Here's the main idea". Then mp3 players that know these annotations exist could look for them while reading the mp3 file and playing the sound.


Solution

  • I think you want chapter Markers?

    as on http://id3v2-chap-tool.sourceforge.net/

    Chapters in this context could be any of the following:

    chapters within an audiobook

    articles within a podcast

    individual tracks within a multi-track audio file

    you will need VLC Media Player, cause most Players dont show Chapters.
