The Tag Editor in SonicSyncSail allows users to modify metadata associated with their local audio files directly from within the application. This includes editing fields such as the song title, album, artist, genre, and—most notably—updating the album artwork through an integrated image picker. The feature is designed to provide full local control over a user’s media library, allowing them to maintain accurate metadata, correct inconsistencies, or personalize their music collection.
Tag editing is executed entirely on-device. No external servers or cloud-based metadata systems are involved. This ensures privacy, speed, and reliability, especially for users who maintain large offline libraries.
By offering complete local editing, SonicSyncSail becomes a full music management tool rather than just a playback app.
SonicSyncSail uses Android’s MediaStore APIs to update metadata fields directly in the device’s media database. Supported metadata fields include title, album, artist, genre, and album art.
Secure access to user-selected images via FileProvider ensures compatibility with modern Android security models.
