Music Meta by Mozbeats

Music Meta by Mozbeats is an advanced plugin for music websites built with WordPress. It analyzes the post title, identifies the main artist, featured artists, year, music genre, and release type, and automatically generates a professional Music Metadata Sheet. Version 1.5.2 adds Premium Deezer artist synchronization, configurable sync times, automatic latest-song publishing, a Deezer streaming/download call-to-action, artist profile editing, free biography editing, and artist default music genres for generated posts.
