## File Metadata

User's Guide > Dialog Reference > File Metadata

Dialog to edit the metadata of the file. Press OK button after modifing the field associated with the metadata which you want to edit. You can't edit some fields, because the fields of the metadata that are not supported by the file format will be invalidated.

In the current implementation, spwave will reproduce the entire file instead of replacing the metadata information of the file. Therefore, saving the file after editing the metadata information will cause degradation if the file is compressed in lossy manner such as MP3. So, editing the metadata information is recommended only for the files in linear PCM or lossless format (executing Save As a file in linear PCM or lossless format which can include metadata information is no problem).
