MetaGen makes the creation of metadata quick and easy. The Metadata Generator App guides people through the process of generating data about music by asking straight forward questions, with helpful tips and learn more links. This data helps protect and verify the copyright of music and ensures that all the people involved are credited and paid for their contribution. Once it has been created, the data can then be saved or shared in any way.

The app can be used for recording or publishing purposes; from an early demo to the finished release-ready version of the song. The data collected includes information about the band or artist, the song name, all the people involved in the song writing and recording, the composition and lyrics splits, music industry codes and identifiers, collecting societies, publishers, record labels, and details about the recording and release. The data created is given a % rating of completion to encourage improvements in overall metadata quality. Some of the data can also be verified increasing its value and accuracy.
