Audacity Ver: 3.3.3, How to save existing MetaData for individual tracks, when using --Export Multiple?

Audacity 3 Help Forum

The MetaData for the tracks --are already individually set. Export Multiple, undoes the existing MetaData, essentially causing the reentry of every field, except ‘Title Track’.

EXAMPLE:
Four imported tracks, two have ‘Artist: one’ with different track titles. The other two tracks = ‘Artist: two’ with the final two, out of four tracks, having their own respective track titles.

Audacity:

  1. will use the ‘track name’ of the top track, and place it in the applications title bar.
  2. Export Multiple | Export | MetaData Editor – will scramble the existing MetaData, in the following way

The first of four – the ‘Artist Name’ is populated with the last imported tracks ‘Artist Name’, while the ‘Track Title’ field correctly matches ‘The first of four’ track names, as-well-as matching the name in the Audacity ‘title bar’.

The balance of track one’s MetaData is populated with track fours info. In-fact, all four tracks are using incorrect MetaData with the exception of the ‘Track Title’ field.

Again, this MetaData for each individual file\track already correctly exists; it gets scrambled with Export Multiple.

This is being worked on right now; export multiple is getting metadata pagination

@LWinterberg, thank you for the prompt reply. I feel smarter now that I know --it wasn’t something I screwed-up. I’m happy the team is aware.

Is there a previous version of Audacity which does not have this issue?

THE GOAL: To ‘Loudness Normalize’ then ‘Export Multiple …’ I’m talking hundreds, perhaps single-digit thousands of stereo tracks. Or should I wait for the pagination?
