Tags are probably the best way to catalog files. Their advantage over a database is that tags are associated with the file and consequently will serve to classify it wherever it may be. In addition, they can be used either by the operating system or by many common applications. Although tags are commonly used with any kind of file, they are never as useful as when they serve to organize media files.
MP3 Tag Express is a very comprehensive application intended to arrange audio files by editing their tags. You may argue that it is possible to edit tags from the operating system, and you are right. But the difference is that MP3 Tag Express will let you manipulate tags much more easily. What is more, it includes several related utilities.
The interface contains many functions but this does not make it difficult to use. The central element is a list to which you load the files whose tags you need to edit. This list shows columns corresponding to each of the tag elements. A toolbar provides quick access to most tag editing functions and there is also a media player to preview the files. In addition, you will be able to edit batches of files at the same time.
Probably the best advantage is that this application offers to look up the file’s properties by connecting to Internet databases. These data do not only include common information, such as title and artist, but also album artwork and lyrics. In addition to editing tags, MP3 Tag Express can also rip audio CD’s and include tag information in the resulting files.
All in all, MP3 Tag Express is an intuitive application that will be very helpful to label audio files and save a lot of time in this process.
