Hi. Is there a way to completely remove all metadata for .ogg files? I’ve tried Edit → Metadata… → Clear, but the metadata for “Vendor/Software used” still shows up on my exported .ogg files.
If not, can someone recommend a program that can do that?
You could use a different encoder, then you would get different info.
You could use a metadata reader that does not show any info about the encoder.
Audio files always use some kind of encoder - the “sound” is encoded into a numeric representation. Exactly how it does that depends on the encoder. A WAV encoder works differently to an MP3 encoder, which works differently to an MP3 encoder.
With a WAV file, Exiftool may show something like:
RIFF PCM | 1
With an MP3 it may show something like:
LAME3.100 | -m s -V 4 -q 3 -lowpass 18.6 -b 192
I don’t use Exiftool so I don’t know how much detail it will show about each encoder.
