Music Tag Editor App Reviews

Very user friendly and easy to use to create album/song text or graphic labels

Interface is nice, program works well. It doesnt have all the same categories for itunes like album artist. However, not being able to import subfolders for batch processing needs to be added. If I want to change all the genre tags in a folder with albums inside, there is no way to do this. Thats the whole point of batch processing, not having to go album by album.

This progamma was practically made for me,I was looking for, some like this a very long time. very good program.

I paid $3.99 for an UNSTABLE app with a POORLY DESIGNED INTERFACE that has FRUSTRATED me to no end, CRASHED the second time I used it and which OFFERS NOTHING NOT ALREADY AVAILABLE IN iTUNES …oh wait, it has fields for Copyright and Publisher… but lacks Grouping, BPM and Disc# The only positive feature I found is that the lyrics field is already center aligned…. but its non-negotiable left/right aligned are verboten.

Rather poor but serviceable interface. One star only, though, because it does not correctly edit AAC tracks (e.g. songs purchased from iTunes). Edits show up the app itself, but not on the tracks when theyre imported (back) into iTunes. Id call that false advertising.

Does not change actual file name! I need it to change the whole file name like Media Monkey For Windows. :(

Many of the features dont actually write to the mp3 file(s) youre writing on. This program needs some serious patch repair. Dont waste your time on it as is.

Couldnt figure out how to change the cover art as there werent any clear instructions. But after trial and error I was able to figure it out.

Does not work at all

The only reason i got this app was to rename the file of multiple tracks at once using a custom format. However, it doesnt actually change the file names. It says saving, it has a progress bar indicating that files are being renamed, but theyre left untouched. Seems to be a major flaw if an entire section of the software does not succeed in its primary function.

I find this a rather pleasant app. It allows for me to batch update / fix all of my music; most importantanly my lossless music. Especially for the price, I dont regret buying it.

Gives you a bit more functionality for adding/removing tags that you would typically get from iTunes.

Music Tag Editor does what it says. I use it quite often. Nice tool to have.

I bought this, despite a number of negative reviews about earlier versions. (I am the 23rd reviewer.) The interface is not all it could be, but I wouldn’t call it clunky. And more to the point, this editor does some things easily that the previous 7 tag editors (trials) I downloaded today could not. (The biggest feature I needed was to mass rename the tracks of tunes using the filename.) I find it to be solid and useful and I look forward to additions, such as the ability to preview changes before implementing them.

Has a preference setting for deleting ID3V1 tags, but doesn’t say when, where, or how you’re supposed to be able to do that. Automatically? Don’t appreciate that. With a button? Which one? It also won’t let you add a space before a dash in a file name based on ID3 tags.

Basically this app simply re-creates many of the functions iTunes already has. I only bought it for one reason, I though it had tag-from-filename functionality. This is mainly my fault becuase I misread the app features, and mistook rename filename for what I wanted. I have several mp3’s from years ago that whose filenames were arranged “track# - Artist - Track Name”, but for some reason the tags combine the artist and track name as the song title (for example a song title in iTunes might read “Tom Waits - Going Out West”, and the artist name is blank. I simply wanted to tag from the filename to fix this. This was a pretty easy function I knew how to do on a PC in 2001, but for some reason have yet to find an easy way to do it on a mac. I thought this app might do it, but once again I wasted my money on an app that didn’t do the one simple thing I needed.

I use this app on a fairly regular basis and it does everything I need it to do very quickly and easily. I highly recommend this app for anyone looking to edit the tag information on any songs in their library.

this app is like the manual version of tuneup. i have 850 songs and was able to clean up my library in about a day. yes it is tedious but it is a very cheap alternative to big name music tag editors

Generally does what it’s supposed to, but not terribly well. Songs with illegal file system characters (colons or slashes) simply leave the whole name out when renaming files. The “Apply To All” checkboxes should make the contents sticky. Instead you have to check them, enter the information, Save All, then go back through and do the individual attributes. There’s no option to omit leading zeros when naming files with track numbers (Media Rage also has an option to omit if less than 10 tracks). The interface is kind of clunky, and as an app developer who probably spends more time on interface and usability than anything else, it’s definitely something I look at. I guess I wanted it to behave more like Media Rage, but I suppose that’s also the difference between a $5 app and a $30 app. 2.5 update: I suppose the interface is a little better, but still awkward at times. Also, another critical omission is disc number in the file renamer.

It really isn’t a requirement that all elements have to have the ZOOM effect turned on. Save that for really serious alerts. There really should be a way to disable all the verbosity. I don’t need to know that the app saved all the files that I just asked it to save … I only need to know when that didn’t happen. The interface needs some more streamlining but this version is a huge improvement over the prior one!
