Mp3tag Description

Mp3tag allows you to modify, add and delete the metadata included in music files. The name of the program might suggest that it is only limited to editing MP3 files, this is not true. Mp3tag supports all commonly found audio formats.

Besides supporting different types of audio files, it also supports different types of metadata. Mp3tag supports ID3 tags, including ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, but also WMA tags, iTunes MP4 tags, Vorbis Comments, and APE Tags.
