In the early days of digital music, it was enough to upload an MP3 and share a download link. Those were the golden days of Napster, Winamp, and iPods. But that era is long gone. Today, music doesn’t just float across the web—it’s cataloged, indexed, sorted, shuffled, and streamed by machines and algorithms. If your song lacks the right digital information, it may never be discovered, let alone heard.
And that’s where metadata comes in.
