works great and has a lot of features for working with music files. developer was very responsive to fixing some minor bugs quickly.

interface is not the easiest. sometimes I have to search for the correct function even though I have already used it before. but that can be forgiven for the fact it has so many features.

[Feature] Added many more data field destinations (e.g. Album Artist) to the Data Mover destination popups.

I don't find this in destination field for data drop down menu while I use Data Mover

I used to use MediaRage to mass export and import mp3 tags with artworks, but now it crashes. I did use it on leopard and not snow leopard so that might be the culprit.
Now using version 3.4.8

I've tested 3.4.8 on an iMac G4 running 10.4.11 and have same problems, so I started testing older versions of Media Rage.
Version 3.4.6 works!
So if you need to export mp3 tags and then reimport them use 3.4.6, you can get it here

Please update this program to version 4. It's been almost a year without as much as a simple update. Needs new UI and a few bug fixes.

Needs some updates. It is still very good though.

I agree with most people the UI is frustrating and badly thought out. It is like your using many small apps rather than one app.

However what the app does is fantastic and has never let me down. All the little apps in an app work perfectly. Some of them you won't find in other apps.

Unfortunately you can't use it alone as you get really frustrated doing a lot of tagging. If it has one fault it's auto tagging is not very good for mass tagging. So I use it with Jaikoz.

I use Jaikoz to autotag which it excels at but as out with that Jaikoz is limited and really slow to be doing hand edits in (Java) so I switch to this for clean up as it has all the tools to do this.

Together they work very well.

Too clunky, especially for $30.

I've used MediaRage for many years now, but the GUI hasn't been improved at all over time. To me there seems no, or at least not enough cohesion between the many tools of Media Rage, and I often end up quitting the app and manually editing specific tags simply because I cannot find the right MR tool for it. Did the dev give up on further developing this app?
I sent him several support emails but he never replied, so that's a big fat -1 for him.

I hope all this will improve, because I haven't found a proper substitute for MR yet. My reference app is Tag & Rename, but that's Windows only.

This is the only piece of software I use when editing my media files. With that being said I am very disappointed with the development of this software. There are a number of bugs that have been present since Version 3, one of which is making changes to files that are not recognized in iTunes. It's pretty hard to pinpoint the problem since it happens some of the time and only on certain fields. My latest experience was adding cover art, it's in the file but the system and itunes doesn't see it. Please fix this software or better yet make a new version 4.

"Account error: inactive"

So much for the download link - is there a mirror anywhere? The links on the developer's site go to the same place…

(As an aside, you'd think Apple would make a better looking failure page for mac.com than a couple of lines of monospaced text!)

Media rage use to be good or so I thought. until i this aug, i started
to try to put id3 tages to my music, I was batch processing about 2000
songs.. media rage would crash EVERY SINGLE TIME.. restarted the
computer, i even thought well maybe it is something in my computer ,
something i installed that is having an issue with media rage..
Reinstall leopard 10.5.7 Still crashed.. new system nothing installed
other then, leopard and media rage.. Still crashing all the time.. did
about 200 files.. crashed. did about 50 , didn't crash, started
"Pinning" multi, files as in artist name, album title, id3 tages, and
album artwork so that it would be the same for all that album. well
everything was going fine, even thought it would not work with many
files,

The out come was that many id3 tages were broken, some COULD NOT BE
WRITTEN TO.. which is the biggest problem, it would do like 80% of the
tages correctly and then the rest it would not write anything to .. I
tried those songs that media rage could not write to, in itunes.. I
tunes wrote the tages correctly ..

Here is the really bad apart.. I have tried to contact there support
dept, 5 TIMES.. in 1 month asking why it is happening and how to fix
this.. NO ANSWER.. not one time did they send me back a reply.. there
support is nothing and i bought this.. what a waste of money.. REALLY
waste..

If you are looking to buy this app, PLEASE don't get mislead like i
did.. Really . NO SUPPORT.. crashes with big number of files, which you know is not so big of a deal but that it does not WRITE to every file is not so funny, to have to go look at every file for fear it did not write ever tag..i even tried writing to the file one by one.. opening a new window in media rage.. for each file that can not be written to ,nothing worked.. So I tried 2 other apps..

The first is like the bad media rage but much much more powerful, ( it
did crash also but not as much) it is called. "jaikoz" the other which
was simpler but worked great and cheaper and DID EVERY FILE.. 300, 3000 NO PROBLEM. no crashes.. was called. "ID3 Editor" the only problem i had was figuring out how to keep the lyrics in the songs,, for example if there were already written in my original music file. seems that ID3 Editor would not keep them or import them in..maybe was me.. but in the end.. i never did figure it out.. but it atleast wrote all the tags and never crashes.. MEDIA RAGES.. well i am sad i gave you my money, but be sure i will never use your product again.. compared to these to other apps..why would I. ?? check them both out before buying media rage..becauase i am sure i am not the only one having this problem with crashes or bad support. Hope this helps someone..

A bug appeared in version 347 that was not in 346: "Convert Filenames to Data" crashes.
Otherwise, it's a nice app for renaming and exporting tags to different files. I haven't found a better one yet.

Even more bugs in version 348!!!
The app crashes with Data Import/Export function (I haven't tried the others and ran back to 346).
Note to the dev: I'm on 10.4.11 PPC.

Eureka! I recently switched to Leopard 10.5.8 and noticed version 348 doesn't crash — and 346 does!
So, if you're still on Tiger, use v346, and go on with v348 if you're on Leopard!

Tried that new version and have to admit it is still the most complete mp3 tag editor software out there.
It sure ain't pretty and even have an 'old school' look but it's not that important anyway.
What seems to be a bug to me though, with the media scrubber window after editing tracks (nice to change several fields at once now), it does not refresh infos.
The only way to see it is by removing tracks and putting them back.
And that's annoying..
