Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
Digital music is all well and good, but who wants to type in album and artist information for each track? With the free TagScanner, you don't have to. This efficient and powerful tag editor lets you edit metadata automatically as well as by hand, both for individual files and file batches.
The automatic tagging feature is most impressive. Although it can hit up online databases such as FreeDB, Discogs, and Amazon like many other auto-tagging apps, it can also generate tags from file and folder names--something many others can't. It works in the opposite direction, too, generating filenames from tags.
TagScanner has an elegant and orderly interface, and lets you preview filenames before applying changes. The only catch is that you'll need to spend some time learning the program's file- and tag-naming language. However, if you have thousands of music tracks crying out for organization, that's a small price to pay.

"Love This Program, If You Need To Tag MP3s Get This!"
Version: TagScanner 5.1.596
Pros
I have been using TagScanner for about a year. It also has a feature to make several different formats of playlists. It is also updated frequently. No bugs or crashes! Totally FREE but donations are accepted.
Cons
None unless you consider that the author is in Russia and it is difficult to donate to him.
Summary
This program has been invaluable to me in keeping my music and ebooks properly tagged. I get a lot of books on CD from the library and rip them to listen on my Android phone. After ripping these files never contain standard or even consistent tags. The names and titles are always screwed up. TagScanner makes it easy to create standard tags for these ripped files. It will tag both individual files and groups of files (multiple directories). I would recommend TagScanner to anyone wanting to create or modify tags on MP3 files.
