What is alias metadata?

Alias metadata allows you to edit track metadata on a specific playlist without altering the tracks original metadata everywhere else in your DISCO.

Without the Alias metadata feature, you would have to upload a duplicate of the audio file every time you wanted to write different metadata for different clients or uses.

With Alias metadata the same track could appear to clients with totally different metadata in hundreds of playlists while keeping its original metadata intact inside your DISCO.
