I'm a working DJ, and I obsess over the formatting of the names of my music files and keeping TAG info correct. And it has always, always, always been the best. That's right, while the MacOS version is new, I've been using MP3TAG for at least two decades. ![]() Support for many file types under a universal user interface. Applying action groups with many tasks combined into reusable workflows. Support for Flexible Tagging, allowing for user-defined tag fields in a standardized way. Importing metadata from online Tag Sources. Assign track and disc numbers via the auto-numbering wizard. Bulk-Editing of Tags for multiple files at once. Examples are formatting tag fields, performing case conversion, removing unwanted fields, or adjusting embedded cover art to match required sizes. Since some of the tasks in managing a digital library are repetitive, Mp3tag allows for combining tasks into action groups, which serve as workflows for keeping consistency and order. It offers renaming files based on the tag information, replacing characters or words in tags and filenames, importing tag information, and adjusting the size and image format of embedded cover art. It supports batch tag-editing for multiple files at once, covering many audio formats from MP3, over MP4, and M4V (yes, that's video!) to FLAC, OGG, OPUS, AIF, DSF, MPC, and WAV.įurthermore, it supports online database lookups from Discogs and MusicBrainz, allowing to gather proper tags and download cover art for music libraries. Musicians, DJs, podcasters, and audio-enthusiasts use it for many different aspects of handling audio files. Kodi is well-known for using NFO files, but they can also be used with Emby (which is how I use them), and some other media players/managers.Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files. ![]() They contain an organized list of metadata (tags) meant specifically for video files. NFO files are just text files, but end in *.nfo instead of *.txt. It has renaming features similar to Filebot, but can also create/manage NFO files. PM me if you want to try it though, I have a workaround :) Advanced Renamer is an excellent renaming utility with lots of advanced features, but Filebot is specifically designed for renaming video files and will communicate with some of the databases I mentioned earlier to help gather more info to use in your file names. ![]() File names are important with videos because popular media players/home theater software such as Emby, Kodi, Jellyfin, and Plex will typically use the basic info from a file name and then "scrape" (search within) databases such as TMDb, TheTVDB, IMDB, etc to collect loads of useful information about your files.īut if your only concern is organizing your file names, then Filebot can take care of that. I would use a tool such as Filebot or Advanced Renamer to help clean up and standardize your file names. You may want to approach organizing your video files a bit differently than your music. With that said, I'm not personally aware of any media players that check for and display these tags in the same way they would for audio files. MKV files have their own tagging rules defined and it is possible to add custom global tags. ID3 tags are meant for audio, but it is possible to add them to MP4 files. Tags within video files aren't commonly used. ![]()
