Tag Editor

Songs are fitted with more than just some techniques to be processed by players, and also hold various details related to the author, album, and more. These sets of details are referred to as tags, and you can thoroughly view and edit them with specialized applications like Tag Editor.

On the visual side of things, the application doesn’t quite make the first impression you’re hoping for, but aesthetics are not the main feature here. What’s more, the simplicity of the design allows both beginners and experienced individuals to quickly get the hang of things.

The application supports MP3 and WMA audio files. These can be dragged over the main window, or imported either individually or by folders through the built-in browse dialogs. A neat feature is that you can export the whole selection as a playlist file, so you can then use it in media players.

Each file needs to be handled individually. Unlike other of its kind, the application brings up dedicated edit windows for each set of details it can manage, such as general info, text, files, comments, identifiers, popularimeter, commercial details, lyrics, and pictures. Most of them are probably empty, but it’s enough to write down in corresponding field and confirm changes.

In case you want to handle lyrics, this can be done by simply pasting them in a dedicated box. Moreover, the application comes with a built-in component that allows you to synchronize lyrics to the music, making it suitable for karaoke setup. Saving isn’t done on the spot, but when you’re done, you can have all files updated at the press of a button.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Tag Editor is a bit more than meets the eye. The visual design is a little rough around the edges, but the general structure is intuitive enough to be used even by beginners. Detail sets are individually handled for more accuracy, with the possibility to save as playlist.
