Works ok but too expensive.
There are tons of free alternatives doing the same.

Mine naming a few? Not defending The Tagger here, since I've never used it, but music tagging apps on the Mac all seem to suck.

The only real plus of The Tagger is the Discogs look up. Very useful to me. But I agree it seems too expensive for what it does. I'd easily cut the price in half.

Finally, a simple, efficient and easy to use mp3 tagger which allows to rename files and guess tags from filenames.

It's a shame it's not compatible with m4a lossless ! hope it'll do it one day...

Yet another paid app that doesn't even support M4A (Apple Lossless).

You may have a problem with this application if you use Sound Check setting or gapless album file option in iTunes. It doesn't filter out the MP3 comment frames that iTunes uses for volume normalization data and gapless playback flag. The end result is that if you use Sound Check or gapless album option and don't already have a MP3 comment frame with blank Description field (this is what iTunes displays in Get Info dialog), you can't enter a comment for your file. The application will only load one of the special comment frames created by iTunes, neither of which you would wish to overwrite.

As others point out, The Tagger is going to have to be good to justify paying anything for it, given that iTunes and now Songbird have the same facility for free.

Certainly filling in tags is much slicker than either of these, and some of the facilities to copy between tags are very useful. (I particularly like the ability to set filenames from tags, which is an easy fix to some horrible messes).

Unfortunately, the user interface needs a lot of improvement; I work with classical music, which tends to expose problems with such packages, and here is no exception; the user interface offers two panes, display on the left and edit on the right, and the sheer length of some tags in the display pane means that the edit pane on the right is pushed partly off the screen. Why not put edit below display or even merge them, allowing edit in place? In addition, some of the fields (particularly Title) in the edit box are far too short and, for some reason, the edit box is fixed width but the display box is variable width, which I feel is the opposite of what is needed.

That is the big issue; the only other major problem is that auto=numbering (e.g. of filenames) doesn't support a leading zero (01,02,...09,10...), which means that the files don't sort properly in Finder and I have to use Name Mangler to rename them again (!)

A decent first try, but I regret to say that there are better freeware packages for other platforms (MP3Tag for Windows, for one).

WAAAAAAY overpriced.

This is something I would really use and enjoy, but call me back when it's under (WELL under) $20.
