Tag Your MP3 Files With Mp3tag!

After my external WD Passport harddrive crashed, my music collection became a mess because I just didn't pay attention to tagging the music properly.

Your music collection is probably also not tagged very well, especially if you have single tracks that did not come from CD rips. Maybe you want to retag your songs the way you would like, not the way they're currently tagged.  From my experience, the best MP3 tagger is... Mp3tag.  It's incredibly fast and you can bulk edit track names, artists, albums, and other attributes with ease.  As in all good mp3 taggers, it is possible to convert between tags and filenames, look up tracks and cover art using the integrated database lookup functions, and edit the tracks to YOUR preferred syntax. I even noticed that writing the tags to the file is faster than what it looks like if you're doing it individually in Explorer.

Furthermore, the files are handled like they are in Explorer which means that you can double click on them to play them in your default media player, drag them out to different folders, and do any sort of manipulation.

Mp3tag really expands the flexibility of tagging your tracks so that they stay organized and clean, and so that you always know what you're listening to!
