Why Download Mp3tag?

Managing a large music library becomes frustrating when files have missing or incorrect tags.

Mp3tag solves this by letting you batch edit ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, APEv2, and Vorbis Comments across hundreds of files simultaneously.

Select multiple tracks, edit artist, album, genre, and year fields once, and apply changes instantly.

Key Features

Mp3tag automatically fetches tag information and album artwork from online databases including MusicBrainz, Discogs, and freedb.

The software renames files based on tag information using customizable patterns - convert "Track01.mp3" into "Artist - Title.mp3" with a single click.

Additional capabilities include batch cover art export, playlist generation, HTML/CSV report creation, and support for iTunes-specific tags.

Power users can create custom actions combining multiple operations into one-click workflows.

Portable Version Available

Mp3tag offers a portable installation option - run it directly from a USB drive without installing on the host system.

During setup, select "Portable" to install to any location without leaving traces on the computer.

Alternatives and Companion Tools

If you need automatic fingerprint-based tagging, MusicBrainz Picard identifies songs using acoustic analysis.

For broader media management including ripping and playback, MediaMonkey combines tagging with a full media player.

TagScanner offers similar batch tagging with Discogs integration, while Kid3 Tag Editor provides cross-platform support for Windows, Mac, and Linux users.

For OGG-focused libraries, MetatOGGer specializes in Vorbis and FLAC metadata.

Mp3tag includes a foobar2000 plugin for seamless integration with the popular audio player.

Once your music is properly tagged, play your organized collection with VLC Media Player or manage it through Helium Music Manager.

For video metadata needs, Media Companion and tinyMediaManager handle movie and TV show libraries with similar batch processing capabilities.

System Requirements

Mp3tag runs on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. A Mac version is available through the Mac App Store.

The installer is under 5MB and the software uses minimal system resources even when processing thousands of files.

Are they still offering this for free?

They're crazy, this has to be the best giveaway ever. We have over 48,000 FLAC recordings and rips, we work in radio... our library has been exclusively tagged by Mp3tag.

Easy, efficient & perfect tagging. Bravo to you.

Probably the best free software ever. This is what all software should be like. Flawless. I added album art to my collection, removed copyright tags, and removed composers all in one fell swoop. Yes, I'm anal-retentive.

Oh, did I say it's free? Sweet Jesus...
