14 APPENDIX C: How to edit the metadata in your library from an external PC
When you rip a CD with the aria´s ripper, your aria music server connects itself to several databases from
which it collects information from the disk such as song titles, cover, artist name, composer, genre, etc.
This information is known as the metadata. You can edit this information in order to complete it or
correct/change the fields that are incorrect.
As explained in the section ‘Editing metadata’, it is possible to do some of this using the iaria application
but some things like importing the cover art, must be done within an external PC.
Please follow these steps:
Install MP3tag in your PC and execute it.
Go to File >> Add directory. In the next window provide the location of the music in your aria
server in the Directory field: \\aria\music1. Select the option Subdirectory and close all the
Windows by clicking on Select Directory. Your music files will appear at the right of Mp3tag’s
main screen.
If a popup message appears asking for credentials, use:
Username: \guest
Password: <left the password empty>
Select the tracks you want to edit, right click and select Tag.
You will see several buttons to create new fields, edit the existing ones, add a cover, etc.
Simply select and change the data in your files.
