Bottom Line: hey used this. It was great experience

salmakhan reviewed v3.20 on Apr 3, 2023

Pros: Mp3tag is a powerful and versatile tool that allows users to manipulate and manage their audio files in a variety of ways.
The software supports online freedb database lookups, making it easy to gather tag information for select files or CDs.
Users can easily rename files based on tag information, replace characters or words from tags and filenames, and create playlists.
The software supports a wide range of file formats, making it compatible with many different types of audio files.
Mp3tag has a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate, even for users who are not tech-savvy.

Cons: Mp3tag is a Windows-only application and is not compatible with macOS or Linux operating systems.
Some advanced features of the software may require technical knowledge and expertise to use effectively.
While the software is powerful, it may be overwhelming for users who only need basic audio file management features.
The software is not free, and users must purchase a license to use it beyond the trial period.

Bottom Line: The text highlights the various features of Mp3tag, a tool that allows users to manage and manipulate their audio files efficiently. The mention of technology is particularly relevant in the context of the online freedb database lookup feature, which enables users to automatically gather proper tag information for select files or CDs. This technology streamlines the organization and management of audio files, saving users time and effort in the process.

Pros: Noticeably Faster, a very solid tool for Correcting and Tagging your MP3's

Cons: None

Bottom Line: A very useful tool, only thing I wish is that it would also allow file names to stay same even if rest of tag is missing to just add the missing parts.

Pros: Search data on an online database.

Simple interface, easy to use.

Cons: Too old software

Bottom Line: Do you have similar software on Android on APKNite? I need a software with a simple user interface that provides features to add files, folders or playlists via the file browser or through a handy "drag and drop" operation, displaying links, tag, artist name, album, track, year, music stream, comment, codec, bitrate, file length and last date of modification for each file.

@krgood - There was no down-loader when I just downloaded this program just a small setup file around the same size as previous - I can only assume malware on your PC is redirecting you?

Great program, the case conversion is most handy after ripping a CD.

krgood reviewed v2.58 on Nov 22, 2013

When attempting to download this release, you must download a download manager in order to get the program. This seems to always lead to malware and unwanted popups later. So, unless I can download it directly and with no "extra" programs being installed without my approval, I I will have to remove this program and use something else.

This is a good tagging app, and usually I would rate 5*. However, the changes in this beta release disappoint me; changing the meaning of TPE2 from BAND/ORCHESTRA to be ALBUMARTIST is definitely a change for the worse for me :-(

Mp3Tag is a life saver, since every download business uses a different tagging style. Never had a problem with this excellent software.

Plumber reviewed v2.46c Beta on Sep 27, 2010

I removed Mp3tag recently after becoming incredibly frustrated with its inability to update tags correctly. I'd keep pointing it to cover art, or using its built-in Amazon search facility, and it wouldn't save it to my MP3 files. As a matter of fact, it wasn't saving any tag changes I was making.

No errors, just a silent, mysterious inability to perform its core function. (It wasn't a NTFS permissions or read-only issue.)

I tried TagScanner but that thing has a crap interface and doesn't have the cover art search feature I appreciate.

Oh well.

Amazing tagging software, makes organizing a collection sooo much easier. Especially if you go to the forums and get or update the scripts people write for it. You still have to tweak things your own way, but at least it's not as unfriendly as foobar2000!. I'd also highly recommend Album Art Downloader (for grabbing covers), Mixmeister BPM analyzer if you want BPMs tagged, and the lyricsplugin ( http://www.hydrogenaudio...dex.php?showtopic=62821) for getting lyrics in foobar2000 (I think the lyricswiki part is broken; also remember to set the lyrics to store in the UNSYNCEDLYRICS field for compatibility). I also use foobar2000 for setting replaygain in tags.

I could kiss the man who wrote this beautiful piece of art. Seriously, it is that good at what it does.
It works. It works so well, i've been re-tagging and sorting 30+gb of data, nearly nonstop without a single hitch or hiccup. It does not crash.
It does what it does very, very well.
The ability to add external programs makes this one of the most powerful programs i've seen yet to tame your collection of legally owned mp3s.
It's very easy to use, although I wish I could find a good guide on how to add external programs/tools. Sweet!

I've also found that if you are having a tough time finding matches, as a last ditch effort try FreeDB/web search. Once that straightens out your files you can try it again with amazon or discogs.
That's worked more than a few times for me.

Powerful tagger tool. With features like autonumbering, cover art importing, tagging based of file name, renaming tool, plus the script support with which i used both the Amazon & Walmart cover art scripts, this is a solid and great tool. There are only 3 things i would wish it would support for the future: Chiptunes (SPC, NSF, PSF, etc); Lyrics (only sees the tag, can't view/edit); mp3gain support (only sees the tag, can't do anything with it) Thats the only 'Limited' functionality i see. Would also be nice to see a full Linux port instead of using WINE.

EAVES: Mp3tag WILL work in 2000. The installer rejects 2K but if you can copy the install folder from an XP User, or a Linux user running WINE, to your 2K machine you're good to go.

Its the best free tagger I've used, in fact its better than any ones that you'd have to pay for. Its simply fantastic has some smart features, the only thing I've found a little messy is when trying to apply tags via the cd search (apart from using cddb). If it picks your album in CDDB I haven't had one problem

If this app is started when Windows Magnifier (it's in Accessibility Options)is running and it wants to display itself in an area that Magnifier is using for its display, it promptly crashes. Every time. This needs to be fixed.

FOUR stars for excellence (five minus one for the scenario above)

This program has one really annoying bug. If one starts Windows Magnifier (under Accessories / Accessibility options) and then starts this program, and the program normally occupies a place on screen that Magnifier takes over, it will GPF every time. Consistently.

Please fix this.

FOUR stars that will immediately change back to FIVE when this bug is fixed. In all other respects, this program is excellent.

@kashin- I'd suggest NOT loading 1000s of selections. What's the point?

Do an album at a time.

Works perfectly for me, including getting tag data from AMG.

kashin reviewed v2.39 on Aug 7, 2007

It works and the price is right, but it gets sluggish if you load thousands of songs into it. The RAM usage also goes through the roof. It uses ~80MB of memory with 9,500 songs loaded. Surely the tags don't take up a fraction of this much space. Another problem is that the program rescans every file when I load it. It should be able to cache the tag information and rescan only changed files since last restart. When I pull tags from FreeDB or Amazon, it's very slow to add the tags to the files. An album with 20 tracks can take up to 30 seconds or more to tag. This can get very annoying when you're trying to get tags for many albums. Still, I use this program because I haven't found anything better yet. I'm open for suggestions though.

The best freeware digital audio tagging application with a few cards more in its sleeve. Mp3tag excels at really fast tagging, continued development and care from the author, support for all digital audio formats and an easy and practical interface. i use it to get album art and clean mp3 files with extra tag specs, conversion to 2.3 unicode from 2.4,all with a simple "erase tags,undo" command. It works reliably with a very big collection of files.

Very highly recommended.

I used TagScanner 5 & foobar2K for tagging audio files.

I'm happy for meeting mp3tag.

JEdwardP reviewed v2.37e Beta on Feb 16, 2007

I've written before, and doubtless will again, that this is simply the best program of its type.

It's smaller and has a cleaner interface than either of the two alternatives mentioned in recent reviews here.

Not to intentionally tear-down other people's choices, to which they certainly have their rights, but one really can't compare this program to Mp3/Tag Studio, because:

Mp3/Tag Studio isn't just a tagger, it includes cutting and joining functions of the kind done so well for free by MP3DirectCut.

Mp3/Tag Studio is only designed to work with MP3 files and only with ID3 tags. If, like me, you have other many other file types (Ogg, Musepack, AAC/MP4, or ANY lossless formats), then you'll probably want a tagger that handles them all, which Mp3tag does and Mp3/Tag Studio does not.

As a final consideration, remember that Mp3tag is freeware. Mp3/Tag Studio is either adware or $19 shareware, depending upon which download you choose.

All these points converge to make Mp3tag the clear winner. To any who've never used it, please do try it, odds are your search for a tagger will then be at a very happy end.

ghammer reviewed v2.37e Beta on Feb 16, 2007

It's hardly fair to blame FreeDb server problems on an application that just uses FreeDb.

This is the best tagging app. available. The two most frequent complaints against it, at least among those here, seem to've been lack of unicode support and lack of Amazon support for gathering tag info.

Both those things have now been added, so I hope it'll be happily used by even more people.

As I've said before, If you actually want your tagger to also serve as an organizer, encoder, and converter, then yes, you should try The Godfather.

This goes into the Top 5 best freeware that I have installed on my computer. Very convenient features such as "Tag to filename" and "filename to tag" converter which save me A LOT of time. Auto numbering wizard saves tones of time on those mp3's without track numbers already on the tag or filename.

And on top of all of that, it can create the playlist for you. What more can I say, it is excellent and does what it is meant to do, and does it well.

A remarkable program in that it is so very obvious how it works. Unfortunately, tag editing still is tedious, but this program meeds only a tenth of a dozy brain to do great work. BTW, this is one of the few that works with the AAC+ codec.

cricri_pingouin reviewed v2.31b on Jul 6, 2005

Because we westerners can write documents solely using 8 bits encoding (e.g. ISO-8859) does not mean that every one in the world can do so. In fact, Unicode has been created to match worldwide (i.e. multi-cultural) requirements.
Thus, the fact that the guy below is disappointed because Unicode is not supported (e.g. Chinese) is indeed a completely valid reason to take points out the rating. Moreover, a 3 is an average rating. If I was in his/her shoes, since the program would fail on all counts, I'd have given it less.
Since it does meet my expectations though, I do rate it a 5 personally.

I don't know how he was able to edit his post to change the score and add the above statement...

Is there a way to actually do this?

Ganymed reviewed v2.29 on Mar 9, 2005

Mp3tag has support for AMG, artistdirect.com, discogs.com and musicbrainz.org via the Web Source Framework and it's easy to build a custom web source for amazon.com. Just suggest this on the forums and someone will do that.

There is also an external tool called Amazon Cover Downloader which can also be found at the forums.

PeterAThomas reviewed v2.29 on Mar 8, 2005

Though it’s free it’s not for me, as it doesn’t import information from Amazon. That’s why I prefer mp3Tag (of ManiacTools), that has more convenient interface and besides, what is also very important, it can automatically search for lyrics and album covers. http://www.maniactools.c..._tags_from_amazon.shtml

Someone earlier said it's not as good as K-MP3. Well, K-MP3 is 14.99 Euro to buy and MP3TAG is free. While K-MP3 may be the better product, you have to ask whether it is 14.99 better.

Just got done organizing my music and this makes proper tagging really fast, It does alittle bit more than just tag, if you rename files you have to remake the playlist, and this program will make playlists for you. And if your mp3's are in a proper name format then the filename > tag feature is really good. Although I like to do each mp3 manually myself, to ensure title and track# is right.

If you want to give your mp3's proper tags this program is the best and fastest way to do so.

pyridox reviewed v2.28b Beta on Feb 7, 2005

I have been using this program for about a year now. It's the best one I've used for taging mp3's, ogg's, etc. The Tag to File name & file name to tag function is extremely helpful.

Isn't that the point of a rating system? To rate software to your preferences? And isn't "fast and streamlined" your personal preference?

I'm not asking for a pile of bloat, I just really like the convenience of getting all the album info from Amazon and having all the tags filled out automatically. If you think typing them out manually is "fast and streamlined" then more power to you.

Until this feature is added, my rating stands.

Man, I can't get over the silliness of some of these reviews. Amazon Support? Beefs with the fact that it uses an installer? People, give your heads a shake! This is a MP3 and file *tagger*. You want a multimedia library application? Use Winamp, MusicMatch, the iTunes crap or some other example of bloat. Pound for pound, this applications kicks serious butt in terms of functionality against all comers. It's bug free too which is more than the vast majority of the others (especially the bloatware junk) can claim.

If you don't like streamlined, tightly written apps that do their job superlatively, that's your wont (and loss) but don't dis an app that does because of your own "preferences".

@rrtn: The only thing thats lame is your poor review.

Mp3Tag is certainly more comfortable and powerfull than the most small standalone apps. Ok, you can write texts with the notepad but if want more you will use a office suite ( For example OOo ;).

And Mp3Tag is not bloated its nearly almighty in its job. The strong script functions for example are saving my live over and over again. Also this app eats every Format without any problems.

So this is a must have for audio file tagging.

It offers more features and costs less (it's free) than all the commercial/shareware alternatives out there. Was a real life saver when I bought my Creative Nomad, allowed me to quickly and easily clean up my tags before transfering them to the portable player.

cricri_pingouin reviewed v2.21g Beta on May 26, 2004

Ozieo: thank you for the advertisement for this shareware software you are talking about. I had a look and was thoroughly unimpressed (apart from the price tag maybe, as well as the kick a** huge banner at the bottom wasting screen space). I was wondering why you were not justifying your opinion and your drastic Mp3Tag underating with valid points, and discovered why: there aren't any.
I have to say that I tried The Godfather also, and it's good too, and free :) However, I had the impression it's trying to do too much things apart from tagging, and that made it difficult for me to make use of it in an efficient way.
I myself use Tag&Rename because it does a lot and the interface is somewhat effective. The other main reason I use Tag&Rename is the possibility to import tags form www.allmusic.com. I'll rate Tag&Rename with 4 * since it's shareware. For some reason, I'm more comfortable with AMG than with freedb, probably because I get more data, hence allwoing me to make sure I'm definitely getting the right data. That might sound dumb, but that the way my brain works :S
That said, as soon as Mp3Tag allows to import tags from www.allmusic.com, then it will get a definite 5 and replace Tag&Rename on my system :) I can't wait since Tag&Rename is shareware, and you get free updates for the main revision number only.
