MP3 ID3 Tag Encoding Converter

MP3 ID3 Tag Encoding Converter is a free and open-source software application whose purpose is to edit the ID3 tags of MP3 audio tracks, as well as to transform text encoding into UTF-8 and other methods. It comes packed with just a few intuitive options that can be configured by anyone.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can extract the program files to any location on the hard disk and just click the EXE file to run.

There is also the possibility of saving MP3 ID3 Tag Encoding Converter to a pen drive or other removable device, to be able to run it on any PC effortlessly and without previously installing anything.

An important factor to take into consideration is that the app does not create new entries in the Windows registry or Start menu, leaving the HDD clean after removal.

The interface is standard. A regular window contains boxes dedicated to each tag that can be edited, namely title, artist, album, genre, and comment. It is also possible to select another encoding method. All new changes are applicable with the simple click of a button. There are no other notable options provided by the utility.

As expected, MP3 ID3 Tag Encoding Converter runs on a light amount of CPU and memory, so it does not concern the PC's performance overall. It has a good response time and works well, without causing Windows to hang, crash or pop up error messages. We have not come across any issues throughout our testing. However, there are no advanced options for more experienced users to fiddle with.
