ExifTool meta information reader/writer

Project mention: Ask HN: Best to store, index and categorize audio recordings | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-02

If you're doing a pipelined bulk processing pass to add metadata tags after extracting them via Speech to text, or have delimited notes in a text file, or ... etc.
You might find ExifTool useful.
It's pure commandline (with a few third party GUI's IIRC) multiplatform and purpose built to display, edit, add media tags to all sorts of AV files.
