zMeta3This isn't new, but with the rash of issues with the new software, it may be a good time for a refresher!  ZuneBoard's own zMeta is a metadata editor that will allow you to edit tons of information at once!  Click for more...

 

zmeta 1zMeta is a simple program that allows users to modify all Zune-used meta tags of "Zunable" media. For example, it will help organize videos on your Zune to the correct categories. (TV Shows, Music Videos, Movies, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Open the files you wish to edit
  2. Change tags (either in table view or single view)
  3. Switch video types (right click on entries in the table view, or select multiple entries and then choose what type you want).

The program will automatically save all changes. Once you've edited what you want, then re-sync the files to the Zune. The Zune software won't recognize them as being changed so unfortunately you'll have to delete the files from your Zune and then re-upload the files.

zMeta2Also note that if the content isn't on the Zune yet and you change the tags, then all you have to do is sync the files to the Zune and the tags will be there. The reason you have to re-sync content is only because the Zune software won't see that the files in your library are different to those on the Zune and thus won't update the tags.

Supported Formats
All Zunable formats. However, note that .mp4, .m4a, and .m4b don't really work with Metatags (in general, not just with zMeta) and won't hold tags. As far as I know the only way to fix this is to convert them to .wmv, .mp3, or another Zunable format.

Note: To uninstall the application if you use the installer, just go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall from there.

Tried it... Didn't work for me at least. My metadata shows up correctly in every other program except Zune (even this zMeta), but there are still like 8 files that will not edit to the correct album or album artist no matter what I try.

This is a good program but i don't like that you have to be registered and stuff to get it
Guest User   | 71.233.182.xxx | 2007-12-03 04:16:27
you don't *have* to register, just do a google search for zMeta.
but zuneboards shouldn't make register just to read their forums and download apps

this is cool but someone needs to update the skin to v2

does this let you add numbers to playlists so the zune doesnt re arrange all my music?

That sucks that I can't DL this. I've been visiting this site for news since I got my Zune back in Jan. 07 and I even recently just signed up for the forums. Now I'm just going have to get it somewhere else. Really great way to be user friendly guys.

Why I can't acces the DL post? WTF? Isn't it free?

Hey guys - here's the deal - zB is a forum! Not a download site! They generate these hacks for the active members of this site who contribute to its community! You can't stand that? Go elsewhere! You want the latest in Zune Hacks? The least you can do is join in on a couple conversations....geez! Why don't you create a hack and let anyone have it for free - all the time and energy wasted with a click. You must be Americans...[smiley=laugh]
JeremyMiller   | 75.40.254.xxx | 2007-12-03 18:22:39
Must be Americans? I think you're just a dick. I've been a member here since before the zune was even released...

I think people should be able to download without being members. Who is it hurting? If someone doesn't want to register, then why have them register? They're not going to be someone we want on this forum anyhow. I only want people who WANT to register on here.

Yeah, people can get his file elsewhere-- I had to, despite being a member since august when i first got my zune-- I don't see why you have to limit it, because its likely to drive away newcomers.
Guest User   | 67.182.54.xxx | 2007-12-03 21:23:54
@ Jeremy - you may have been a member on here but you definitely care nothing about the community. Go start your own Zune site with free hacks and dls and see how many people come just to leech....this is the best thing zB could do for members....go away leechers!! hahaha

might wanna check the phrasing Ace. [smiley=tongue]
Guest User   | 69.92.18.xxx | 2007-12-04 00:10:35
I've noticed with the new firmware, podcasts show an image to the left, and movies have the same space for an image. Is it possible to tag a file with an image also, like a movie poster? Maybe in a future version?

Nayer   | 24.144.77.xxx | 2007-12-04 02:37:47
You know I think this would encourage spammers and such who are trying to reach 50 posts in two hours...
SilverDragoon   | 71.197.87.xxx | 2007-12-06 01:10:11
bah my 3 months is almost up, and i just don't post a lot not so cool atm, hopefully though i'll be able to get it. [smiley=sad]

If you like the program or hate it but find it useful, register and become a member here to benefit from all of the other useful programs we've made.

If you really like the program, feel free to donate money to me for all the time I've spent on it. (Link to that in the actual thread)
