What Our Clients Say
“I have worked with Total Music Metadata for years now across two different employers and have come to rely on them for top notch metadata. The team has been able to meet our exacting standards across the board, including expert assistance with gnarly back catalog issues, reformatting massive amounts of data, providing in-depth analysis and finding large-scale solutions for challenges that go back years. He is family to us!“
“We’ve worked with Ryan Rapsys and the Total Music Metadata team for over four years now to create music metadata for our Warner Bros. Discovery Music Source library. They rise to the occasion at every opportunity and create great work within tight deadlines. The metadata is always accurate and helps our clients easily find the best music for their projects. I highly recommend them for all types of music production and metadata partnerships. “

How do you combine human expertise with AI and automation?
We use proprietary technology, AI, and automation to improve speed, consistency, and analysis while keeping experienced people involved wherever context and judgment matter. Technology supports our expertise rather than replacing it.

Yes. We work with established music platforms, APIs, FTP systems, cloud storage, and custom databases. We can adapt data and audio to your existing workflow or build a more efficient process around your requirements.
How are projects priced and scheduled?
Pricing and timing depend on catalog size, complexity, source materials, required services, and delivery specifications. Once we understand the scope, we provide a clear estimate and project schedule.
What do you need from us to get started?
Usually, we begin with sample audio, existing metadata, target specifications, and a description of your current workflow or challenge. If you are not sure what is needed, we can review what you have and recommend the best approach.
