DESCRIPTION
ID3 Editor is a small and simple MP3 tag editor, which offers the ability to edit the most wanted attributes of the ID3 tags in one window. Although iTunes offers a good interface for editing tags, it does have a few important attributes missing, e.g. 'copyright' and 'encoded by' which is where ID3 Editor saves the day.

MP3 ID3 tags are used to store important information of a music track, such as the track 'title', track 'number', 'artist', 'album' etc. The information can then be displayed in your favourite MP3 player application or on your portable player such as an iPod, a Walkman or other music hardware.

Main features:
  • Creates or updates ID3 version 1(.1) and 2(.2/.3) tags.
  • Simple to use.
  • Easily copies and pastes all the tag information.
  • Adds artwork such as album covers.
  • Adds song lyrics.
  • Edits multiple tracks.
  • Cleans version 2 tags by removing invalid and unused tag information.
  • Option to remove V1 and V2 tags.
  • Can change the title and track number based on the file name.
  • Can rename the track file based on the track and title.
  • Ideal for podcasters who need to add information such as copyright.
  • No bloat, just small and simple.

Please note: This trial version expires after 30 days.

SHATFIELD  Because iTunes sometimes doesn't get it right.

I had a CD that was imported using a Linux box some time ago, which I then imported into iTunes when I switched to a Mac. Well, the MP3 files had v1 tags, but the v2 tags were empty. iTunes displayed the tracks correctly in the song browser, but when I played the song, it would add an "_" to the name and strip the tags!

ID3 Tag Editor fixed the problem by allowing me to update the v2 tags from the v1 tags.

TIGGSTER  I found this app after I needed to fix the info in an MP3 that I had edited in iTunes. It appears that iTunes has a habit of screwing up tags for other players, obviously a ploy to make you buy an iPod.

It creates the tag correctly and seems to work without problems, it even lets you edit tag information that iTunes doesn't.

Could do with a progress bar when updating tags, but it's not a major problem.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Wow...I actually figured I'd give this program a try, but after I tried opening it for the first time, it said the trial had expired. Um...ok?

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Why in the world would anyone pay for something that iTunes does for free? Or many other programs do free of charge, for that matter? Ridiculous.

DOCKUM  Wanted to upload an .mp3 to my webpage to play in a flash player. Tags appeared in fine in Audacity and iTunes, but the player wasn't reading them. Apparently, these were ID3v2 tags. I added ID3v1 tags with this app and everything worked.
