You listen through an audio file and hear the intended programme. A media player then displays an old title that nobody says aloud. The file may carry descriptive metadata as well as sound.
Inspect the embedded fields
Check title, artist or contributor, year and any comments used by your workflow. Imported material can bring existing values with it. Audacity’s metadata editor documentation explains how supported tags can pass into exported files and why player support varies.
Keep public descriptions intentional
Remove inappropriate private working notes from the delivery copy and correct outdated labels. Do not erase required attribution or rights information merely to make the fields look tidy. Confirm the requirements for material you are authorised to use.
Open the exported result in the intended player and inspect its information display. A field that one player ignores may still be present for another to read. Keep this check separate from listening quality: a clean waveform cannot tell you whether the text attached to the file is current, relevant or suitable for the audience.
