When you are on your PC or laptop you can simply click on a MP3 file and play it with the default media player. But when you are using a portable MP3 player or your Smartphone it may not be as easy as that. In order to organize the MP3 files those players use some meta data tags in MP3 files such as Album and Artist.
But most of the time meta tags in MP3 files do not give the accurate information to portable MP3 players to sort them. In that case the file organization will be even messed up and you won’t be able to enjoy your music freely.
Edit MP3 tags one by one is not a practical solution. You need a bulk editor. Of course you can use property window in Windows 7, but sometimes it doesn’t work for bulk editing. Here is a simple piece of software which you can use to edit MP3 ID tags easily.
How to use MP3Tag?
- Download and Install MP3tag.
- Open application and it will take you to home screen.
- Now you have to import MP3 files you need to edit tags. Easiest way is drag and drop.
- You can drag and drop files one by one or simply drag a whole folder.
- Now you can see the file list in the window.
- Once you click on the file in the left side panel you can see already existing tags. You can simply edit them.
- If you want to bulk edit tags select all the required files and edit the tags.
- Finally click save and you are done.
- Now move the MP3 files to MP3 player, it will sort them using tags accurately.
Special Tips
- You can set the cover image for MP3 files and it will be displayed when you are playing the file in some MP3 players.
- If you want to change the file name using tags or change tags using file name, there are options for that in tool bar.
- MP3tag software supports variety of file formats such as WMA, AAC, MP4 and OGG.
MP3tag is a very useful piece of software with realizable operations. Interfaces are well engineered and user friendliness is at a optimum level. Its features are rich and I really like the idea of creating tags based on file name as it’s very useful.
