What Is An Artist?

artist

Artist is a meta information you can find in audio files on one hand, but also in image files. Here, you can get more information about what this tells you about the Artist of your file.

Generally speaking, an artist is a person that produces or practices any kind of art like paintings, sculptures or music. When it comes to metadata, the Artist information is usually displayed in audio files. They give information about the single artist or band that performed, but not necessarily, wrote the song or created the piece of recording.

The Artist can also be found in certain image files. More precisely, in photos that are either in their raw form (CR2, NEF, ARW, etc.) or already edited and saved for sharing and publishing (JPG, PNG, etc.). Here, the Artist refers to the photographer that took the photo.
