![]() Required: You need to download and install MP3Tag on your computer. An icon should be automatically created on the Desktop.ĭownload!ĭownload MP3Tag and run the installer on your computer. When the download is completely finished, run MP3Tag from the icon on your Desktop or your Windows Start Menu. ![]() MP3Tag First Run MP3Tag is a very easy program to understand, as you can see almost immediately when you first run the program. Basically, you load you music files into the program and they appear in the white space to the right, and then you can edit the Tag information on the left. ![]() Now add a directory that has files you want to get tag information from by clicking Files -> Add Directory. Navigate to the folder you want and open it. Load MP3 Files Now that your MP3 files are loaded, you will be able to see their file names and any other Tag information that might have been added to them previously (some ripping software will add its own advertisements). In this scenario, we want to extract the information from the filenames of the MP3 files themselves, and convert it into tags that will help iPods and other MP3 hardware arrange the content properly. Select Files and prepare to Convert Select all of the MP3 files that you want to edit the tags for ( CTRL + A will select all if you have one selected). When they are all selected as shown in the picture above, click Convert -> Filename - Tag, or hold down ALT + 2. Filename - Tag Since MP3Tag is just a program that needs your input in order to work, you will need to change some things around here. Look at the format string, in my example it is "01 - Slipknot - Execute.mp3". So in that filename, there is the track number (01), the artist (Slipknot) and the track name (Execute). In MP3Tag, please note the following the track number should be represented by %track%, the artist should be represented by %artist%, the song title should be represented by %title% and the album name should be represented by %album%. Try to represent this information in the same way as I have in the picture above. Basically, mimic the filename, but replace the artist, album, track number and song title with the syntax explained above. Filename: 01 - Slipknot - Execute.mp3 So I Do: %track% - %artist% - %title% I left out %album% because the filenames do not contain the name of the album. Again, simply mimic the name of the filenames as best you can in this way and it should work. When done, click OK (or Preview to view a text document of the information that will be applied to all selected files). Data should be written automatically now. Run this action group against your selected files and Mp3tag will do the programmed step automatically for you.īut. To have this action always at hand, so create an "action group", give it a name of your will, create and setup this single action within the newly created action group. You want the filename to be set to the same content as stored in the title tag field? the file contains actually a tag field TITLE: "Chance Big Country 01 The Crossing (7-83)" you have a music file of type MP3: "Track 1.mp3" So the string "%TITLE%" means: this is a handle or variable name to let the user work with the content of the "TITLE" tag field. to extract the content of a tag field, Mp3tag uses percent signs around the tag field name (like many other tagging applications too). structure of a string.Ī tag (think of a laundry label) is something called like ID3v1, ID3V2.3, ID3v2.4, APE and so on.Ī tag can be appended or prepended to the music data.Ī music file can contain different types of tags (often this causes errors and more work).ĭifferent player devices or computer systems may support different tag types.Ī tag field is some storage place in a tag.Ī tag field has a name, e.
