A list of music tag editors for the Apple Macintosh - mostly concentrating on mp3 id3 capable tag editors. With News and Updates...
| MP3-Info CMM | Handy Contextual Menu Module that lets you apply common rename patterns to individual mp3s without opening a full-fledged tag editor. Great stuff. |
| jiald3 | Recent addition... still need to test this one, but it doesn't look like a very complete solution. |
| autotagx | From their website: "AutoTagX automatically tags and organizes your MP3 files with the simplicity of drag-and-drop and the power of internet music databases." They're working on a beta release now. |
| idtunes | These folks have the gall to charge for cleaning up your tags. "Less than a penny per song" |
| jajuk | A java tagger. |
| media rage | Probably the most complete set of tools, but the interface is really frustrating and annoying. |
| mp3tagger | Another java tagger. |
| itag | Simple and incomplete tagger |
| id3x | Another popular choice, but not very complete and hasn't been updated in years. |
| mp3freaker | This is one of those programs that "automatically" cleans your tags. I have to check this one out again, since there is a new version. |
| taggerwocky | Funny name. Ancient tag editor. |
| tritag | My current choice. Doesn't do it all, but the way it handles getting tags from filenames is easy and powerful. |
| tunetags | Not a tag editor per se, but a program to add keywords to your music. |
| music box | Mainly a music file database, which also has some tagging functions. |
| id3 editor | Another simplistic tagger. |
| itag (also) | Not a very original name. The icon is a foot with a toe tag. |
| tag | Another simplistic and incomplete editor. |
| ieatbrainz | I've tried this one a few times. It tries to fix tags automatically, but it's slooooow. |
| mp3 pretty namer | Ancient and missing the essential ability to get tags from the name of the file. |
| audiferousid3 | Haven't really looked at this one yet... doesn't look promising |
| better finder rename | Does the renaming part, but missing the part where you get tags from the filenames. |
| music renamer | Another renamer missing most other functions. |
| id3 editor | Another simplistic editor... |
| itunify | Does some things that other tag editor might not... but this isn't a complete solution. |
| musicguru | Mostly for organizing the files rather than doing many tag editing functions. |
| ubertunz | Ancient player, editor. |
| idInfiltr8 | Simplistic tag editor |
| audioTT | Yet another java tagger. |
| easyTAG | GTK+ editor that I could maybe get to work... |
| picard | Next generation tagger from MusicBrainz - Mac version not out yet. |
| skooby renamer | A file renamer rather than a tag editor |
| jaikoz | A java editor that's promising, but I hate the interface. |
| corripio | Mostly a artwork/lyric finder. Hoping they add some tag editing functions. |
| musorg | Simplistic tag editor, claims to do freedb lookup... will investigate further |
| id3mod | Doesn't really do tag editing... changes tag encoding for Double Byte Character System (DBCS) like Japanese and Chinese. |
| qloud | Add keywords to your artists, albums and songs. iTunes plugin. Similar to TuneTags, but suggests tags. In alpha. |
| Doug's Applescripts | Doug's Applescripts for iTunes include tag manipulating scripts. |
