Mp3tag Editor's Review

If you have been building your mp3 collection for a long time, then the chances are you will have gone through various tagging methods. In the early 2000s, most audio rippers didn’t connect online and so they relied on you entering the information yourself. Likewise, if you download your music from different places online, they may have different tagging methods or inaccurate information. While you can change mp3 tags in a program like iTunes or Windows Media Player, it can be a very long, arduous process for something that should be quite simple.

Mp3Tag is a universal tag editor for your entire audio library. Mp3Tag connects to Internet databases to gather as much information as possible about your tracks, and then embeds that information in a uniform format throughout. This is a great way to set your entire library to one set of standards in one go, without messing around editing tracks individually. Another great feature of this application is that you can change the file name and folder structure of your music library based on the new file tags. 

Pros: Fully-featured tag editor, free, can generate file names and structure based on tags

Cons: Dated interface.

Conclusion: Mp3Tag is a great utility if you have a library that uses different tagging methods, inaccurate data or a folder structure that is all over the place. If you only rip your CDs using iTunes and never download, you probably won’t need this, but for anyone else it’s an almost-essential tool.
