CNET Editors' review
This batch MP3 tag editor is, in the words of a user, "simply indispensable." If you're looking for a freeware ID3 tag editor with an auto-tagging feature sourced from FreeDB, Amazon, or discogs, you could do much, much worse than Mp3tag.
Besides checking and correcting song tags en masse, the lightweight application sports batch and single edits to effect such changes as case changing, auto-numbering, tag and track name flipping, and user-defined actions. There's playlist support and configuration exporting in six formats including CSV, HTML, and RTF. Support for more than two dozen languages offer the program up for international use, and a Favorite directory makes it easy to return to your music assuming you keep all your tracks in the same root folder.
The interface is a bit too simple, though. It won't be hard for anybody to navigate once you get used to the busy Toolbar and using mouse-over labels to identify button functions, but it certainly could be clarified with bigger buttons, or at least more easily identifiable icons. At worst, the user interface will slow you down, but in no way should it stop you from using this top-flight MP3 tag tweaker.

"Reliable, easy-to-use program"
Version: Mp3tag 2.49b
Pros
MP3Tag is so easy to use after a little experimentation and reading the info on how to use it. It has saved me many hours of time by changing song titles to the filenames, the main way I use it.
Cons
Learning how to use it can take a little time but it's worth it.
Summary
A great product. I can't imagine buying a similar program. This one does a good job always. I've used it for several years and never had a problem.

"Fantastic!"
Version: Mp3tag 2.49b
Pros
So many features at such a great price. No ads and works 100% for me. I've been using versions of this for years-- XP all the way through Win7. Never a failure or problem. The person who rated earlier as this being phishing software either misposted to the wrong product or is a troll.
Cons
Absolutely none
