You're using MKVToolNix, mkvmerge, or FFmpeg for the final muxing?

You must specify from what files you want remove the internal names (of course not the filename).

Is not the same from a .mp3 than from a .mkv

For instance for a mkv you can use mkvtoolnix-gui.exe or the command line mkvpropedit.exe

All right, let me be more specific. Here is the information for my wav file:

File size : 701 KiB
Duration : 7 s 468 ms
Overall bit rate mode : Constant
Overall bit rate : 768 kb/s
Track name : vo_miller_boss_en#125 (vo_boss_800_bd)
stream_count : 135
stream_index : 125
stream_name : vo_boss_800_bd

Audio
Format : PCM
Format settings : Little / Signed
Codec ID : 1
Duration : 7 s 468 ms
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 768 kb/s
Channel(s) : 1 channel
Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz
Bit depth : 16 bits
Stream size : 700 KiB (100%)

I want to remove the track name, stream_count, stream_index, and stream_name from the metadata/information from the audio file. How do I do that?

Try "-map_metadata -1" and see if it works.

ffmpeg -i INPUT.wav -map_metadata -1 -c copy OUT.wav
