What are MP3 tags?
MP3 tags (also called ID3 tags) are metadata embedded inside an MP3 file. They include the song title, artist name, album name, year, genre, track number and album art. Every music player — from Spotify's local-files mode to car stereos — reads these tags to display the right information.
When tag editing helps
- Organizing a music library: Fix misspelled artist names, add missing album art, fill in genres.
- Podcast and audiobook files: Set proper titles so episodes sort correctly.
- Ringtones: Tag a ringtone with a recognizable name so it is easy to find on your phone.
- DJ prep: Fill in BPM, key and genre tags before a set.
Good to know
- Editing tags only changes the metadata header. Audio quality is never affected.
- The Tag Editor runs entirely in your browser and files are never uploaded.
- Some players cache tags. You may need to re-import a file after editing.
