Mp3 ID3v1v2 Tag Edit & Sort Tool

Mp3 ID3v1v2 Tag Edit & Sort Tool is an advanced software utility that enables you to organize MP3 audio tracks using their ID3 tags. To be more specific, it can update or remove tags, clear specific fields, as well as back up and restore tags. It's geared toward experienced users.

There is no installation involved, which makes Mp3 ID3v1v2 Tag Edit & Sort Tool portable. This means that you can save the downloaded .exe file to any part of the hard drive or to a USB flash drive, and double-click it to launch the application on any machine. No changes are made to the Windows registry and it doesn't create extra files on the disk without your approval.

As far as the interface is concerned, the tool has a large window with an outdated but neatly structured appearance, which invites you to select a folder from the disk to autoscan it for all containing MP3 files.

The filelist reveals the artist, title, album, year, genre, track number, comment, ID3 version and full path of each file. It's possible to update or remove ID3v1 or ID3v2 tags from selected tracks, clear any of the previously mentioned tags or restore them from backups, as well paste any tags to all files.

Moreover, the application can be instructed to rename the files by taking into account the naming pattern you specify, which can be a combination out of any tags. This process doesn't take long, after which you can open the directory to inspect results. Unfortunately, the app doesn't integrate options for previewing the new files or for undoing changes.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without hanging, crashing or prompting error messages. It left a small footprint on system resources, running on low CPU and RAM. Too bad that Mp3 ID3v1v2 Tag Edit & Sort Tool hasn't received updates for a very long time.
