ID3-TagIT is a programm for editing, adding, or deleting ID3 TAGs in MP3 files. Single file and batch editing are both supported. Edit one, ten or all your MP3 files at once. ID3-TagIT has many functions to help you achieve your goal as quickly as possible. ID3-TagIT is - in contrast to many other editors - able to read information from the directory structure and put it into the TAG, organize files into folders, handle several comments and genres in the ID3V2 TAG, and every function is available for ID3v1 and ID3v2. For detailed information go to the features descriptions.
This used to be a brilliant little program and free. Ran fine under Vista, Win 7 and Win 8.
Cons
Will not launch under Windows 10. Says it needs .net version 3.5 and asks to install this. When PC confirms that .net 3.5 is installed, program still refuses to run and puts up the same error message about needing .net 3.5. Running as Administrator does not help, skipping the step to install .net 3.5 does not help.
Summary
We need a work-around or an updated version which does run under Win 10.
Absolutely the best.

Pros
By far the best tag editor. The cherry on top is the bulk save feature.
Cons
I think, in the several years I've been using it, it's crashed a couple of times on an enormous single directory.

A++++ Would Download Again
Wow, great

Pros
Excellent software, did not come with any toolbars etc. saved me a lot of time. Simple and pretty easy to get the hang of, and it actually saved my changes - a lot of editors, such as MP3tag, I cannot get to actually save my edits, rendering it quite useless, but this one worked, fortunately.
Cons
Both minor, but what Windows calls the "Album Artist" is apparently called the "Band/Orchestra" here, and I would like the option to be able to set different track numbers for different tracks; for example by date modified.
Summary
It's not absolutely perfect, but it's a fine choice for adding tags to whole albums and saved me a lot of the hassle quite quickly.
Software is fine, shame about the accompanying junkware

Pros
It's fairly intuitive and should be adequate to tidy up my (large & v. messy) mp3 collection.
Cons
Couldn't get the connection to FreeDB to work.
But the real drawback is the junkware (Wajam, Iminent) that gets installed unbidden at the same time.
I used to think CNET was pretty trustworthy in this regard, but I'm getting very wary now about installing "free" software from here or anywhere else.
Summary
Excellent and easy tool to repair ID3 tags.
Ham73
Pros
Easy to learn. Easy to use.
Cons
None at present.
Summary
After ripping tracks that didn't build the tags correctly, I was able to build and customize the information perfectly. Great product!
Splendid time saver and organiser

Pros
Quickly tidy up, copy/paste several Tags all in one go.
Restore missing information such as track number
Cons
I haven't noticed any cons!
Summary
I've already used this POWERFUL & FREE app for years.

Pros
Tagging and organizing MP3s in simple and easiest way without any problems.
It's absolutely FREE with no ads or spywares inside.
Works like (or better than) pros and commercial related apps.
Cons
Too bad the developer has stopped the developing of this app. :(
I haven't tested it in Win 7 and i have no idea does it works fine as in earlier version of windows.
Summary
If you familiar with 'tagging' and 'organizing' MP3s, you will get no troubles at all unless you don't have MS .Net at least v2.0 installed in your computer because w/o dotNET installed, the app won't run at all. So make sure you've already have dotNet installed in your compie.
Ive used this app since the first public version released and i was so in love with it and never used any other organizing and tagging apps since except SoftPointer's AudioShell135. Just download and try it yourself and you'll find it very useful for you.
As i said in Cons section, it's not supported by the developer no more.. :( because i really wanna try to use it in Windows 7.

Correcting and Re-Correcting Entries
junior166745151
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
when I make entries to my mp3's for player, it has a mind of its own. I notice that what put in the fields, changed. Ver: 1 field to simple, does't have custom genre. Ver: 2 fields are auto entered after I made entries, without me knowing.
Summary
I have an extensive library and to re-do entries over and over is a pain in the as# ...but what do you want for free.
Indispensable!

Pros
It does everything I want to do with ID3 tags and it does it very easily and efficiently.
Cons
None that I've found.
Summary
I've been using this program for over a year (yes, it downloads from here just fine even today) and it has become the first and last program I use for finalizing MP3 rips. The biggest help is the ability to see and change both version 1.x and version 2.x tags and filenames in batch mode. It allows me to clean up hundreds of old MP3s in just a few minutes. It even easily identifies that one of the hundreds that is at a lower bit rate and needs to be reripped. FANTASTIC!!!
