QuickEditor

QuickEditor is a feather-light tool you can use to edit the ID3 tags of one or multiple MP3 tracks at the same time.

It supports ID3 v1.1 and, although it's portable, it can be integrated into the Windows Explorer context menu for quick access.

Since there's no setup kit involved, you can drop the downloaded files to a custom directory on the disk or copy them to a USB flash drive, in order to effortlessly run QuickEditor on any computer.

It doesn't have software requirements or create files on the disk on its own. However, it adds new entries to the system registry if you enable the shell extension.

When it comes to the interface, the utility opts for a standard window with a classical appearance and neatly structured layout.

After using the file browser to find and open a song, it loads all containing MP3 tracks in in a list, enabling you to select one or more items to change ID3 tags.

It's possible to set, edit or remove the song name, artist, album, year, track number, comment and genre. Plus, you can analyze MPEG information, such as the file size, length, version, bit rate, frequency, channels, encoder, total frames, and copyright.

Files can be loaded in your default audio player without leaving the main window. Moreover, you can change the default directory, ask the tool to autosave tags, as well as enable or disable the shell extension. It's also possible to remove its entries from the Windows registry.

It worked smoothly in our testing, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error dialogs. We haven't experienced any stability issues, as it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.

QuickEditor's interface could use some improvements, though. We must also keep in mind that it hasn't been updated for a long time.
