Can Emby server edit and read ID3 metatags?

Can Emby Server be used to edit ID3 audio metatags?

From what I have read in this forum Emby saves metatags in a separate file, and not in the ID3 tags from the audio file itself, so is there a way to correct ID3 tags through Emby's parallel metadata tagging system?

If yes, how can it be done?

Hi, Emby doesn't modify your music files so it will not rewrite any type of tags in the files.  It would track changes in it's database and to NFO files if you use them.

You would need to use mp3tagger, Picard or other music editing/tagging program outside of Emby to make changes to the actual files themselves.
