Here is a brief overview of what Radio Stations are looking for when they ask for Professionally Mastered & Tagged Music.
So professionally tagged consist of meta data. Mastering is referring to finished sound quality and meta tagging. What stations do not want is, an mp3 of someone sitting in the bathroom with their guitar and then sending it in labeled ‘ Track 01- final ‘
You can use iTunes to meta tag your MP3’s but there are other app's that work also.
.Wav files will only except limited meta data, such as, name, song titles & Comments. Mp3s will store artwork and your IRSC # for the songs, if they are registered. IRSC# is usually given to your song from your distributor. Also before you submit your song to radio, register with ASCAP or BMI and get the ISWC #. Then register with Soundexchange, because they collect your royalty payments from digital streams
