Embedding your song information (metadata) in MP3 files is a necessity these days especially when sharing and or or distributing your music digitally. When you’ve put in all that hardwork in the production of your songs, you want your information to stay with that file when it’s in use.
An ID3 tag is a data field which contains the audio image, artist name, song title, genre, year, additional comments, etc.
Several audio platforms in both applications and hardware (such as MP3 players, tablets, smart phones) support ID3 tags.
You may already have access to an ID3 tag editor through your main DAW or favorite audio editor. But in the case you don’t, the following list takes care of the job for you. Keep in mind, some ID3 editors may have more metadata field choices than others.
ID3 Tag Editors
Stamp ID3 Mp3 Editor Software

AbyssMedia ID3 Tag Editor
Pa-Software ID3 Editor
MusicBrainz Picard

Here’s a suggestion when you want to organise a group of tracks, rather than just the odd track.
I write a tool which performs tagging but in a different way. It’s called bliss: http://www.blisshq.com/mp3-tagging-software.html bliss organises your music library by rules. Rules are better for large libraries because they ‘scale’ better (you set them once) and they allow control over intra-library consistency.
It can also find album art and consolidate genres. For example: if you decide you want to increase the size of the album art you re-distribute with your music you could use the ‘minimum size’ rule to increase the size of art across the collection, rather than going through each file and manually updating it.
I wondered if the readers of Studio Noize would find this useful, and you could write a review?
I’ll check it out… Thanks for posting!
