// Edit POTX creation date

using (var metadata = new GroupDocs.Metadata.Metadata("input.potx"))
{
    // set the value of each property that satisfies the predicate::
    // property contains the date/time the document was created
    // update the file creation date/time if the existing value is older than 3 days
    var affected = metadata.UpdateProperties(
      p => p.Tags.Contains(GroupDocs.Metadata.Tagging.Tags.Time.Created) &&
      p.Value.Type == GroupDocs.Metadata.Common.MetadataPropertyType.DateTime &&
      p.Value.ToStruct() < DateTime.Today.AddDays(-3), new GroupDocs.Metadata.Common.PropertyValue(DateTime.Today));

    Console.WriteLine("Properties set: {0}", affected);

    //  Load file using the Metadata class
    using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata("input.mp3"))
    {
        var root = metadata.GetRootPackage<MP3RootPackage>();

        if (root.Lyrics3V2 == null)
        {
            root.Lyrics3V2 = new LyricsTag();
        }

        // Update lyrics data
        root.Lyrics3V2.Lyrics = "[00:01]Test lyrics";
        root.Lyrics3V2.Artist = "test artist";
        root.Lyrics3V2.Album = "test album";
        root.Lyrics3V2.Track = "test track";

        // {emore_features.code_1.comment_3}
        root.Lyrics3V2.Set(new LyricsField("ABC", "custom value"));
