MP3 Tag Organizer

Friday, April 22nd, 2005 at 4:35 pm

I don’t know about you, but I have several MP3’s that have missing artist, title, album tags. I’ve used MusicMatch and Windows Media Player in the past to try to edit these tags, but after a while I always give up due to boredom.

I just found a great program, ID3-Sync — ID3 because that’s the format used to store the descriptive information with the MP3 file — that makes this process much less painful. Based on the file name, or even the file structure, ID3-Sync can lookup the missing information and enter it into each MP3 file for you. All you have to do is walk through your list of MP3’s and verify that it got them right. Super easy. I’ve spent a few minutes this morning playing with it, and probably fixed 50 or more songs.
