CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Version: Mp3tag 2.38
"Does precisely what it says on the tin..."
Pros: Definitely the easiest to use tagging software I've tried, and yet very powerful if you need to use the extra features, automatically generating tags from filenames (and vice versa) text files, etc. I particularly like the Winamp integration - right-click a track, choose "play" and you can instantly check if it's the one you thought it was! There's a handy option to invoke Mp3tag from the Explorer context menu too, which I find invaluable. (Despite the name, the program is not limited to MP3 tagging: it also does .wma, .ogg, .flac, and 11 other formats as well.)
Cons: Haven't found any cons whatsoever so far, unless it's that the program is slightly slow to start. It's very quick thereafter, though, so I find that easy to forgive...
