The audio stream is copied when possible; only the MP3 container metadata is changed.
How to use MP3 Metadata Editor
- 1
Choose the MP3 on your device. Keep the original as a backup.
- 2
Fill in only the fields you want to change, for example Title = Morning Walk, Artist = Your Name, Album = Field Notes, Track = 1. A field you leave blank keeps its current value.
- 3
Select MP3 Metadata Editor and keep the tab open until it finishes.
- 4
Download the new MP3 and open that copy in your player. Refresh the player's library if it still shows the old tags.
What this tool changes
Set common ID3 fields such as title, artist, album, genre, year, and track number.
The audio stream is copied when possible; only the MP3 container metadata is changed.
Watch: add a cover, then edit the tags
A 33-second example: add a cover with the cover art tool, then fix the tags here. No account and no upload.
Which tags players actually use
- Title, Artist and Album are what almost every player shows and sorts by.
- Track sets the order inside an album. Use a plain number such as 3, or 3/12 for "track 3 of 12".
- Year and Genre help with filtering in larger libraries.
- The filename is separate. Changing the Title tag does not rename the file. Some players and car stereos sort by filename, others by tags, so set both if order matters.
ID3v1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4
MP3 tags are stored in a format called ID3. ID3v1 is an old, very limited version. ID3v2.4 is the newest, but older Windows versions and some devices don't read it fully. This editor writes ID3v2.3, the version almost every player, phone and car stereo understands. More detail: MP3 ID3 tags explained.
Tags still wrong in your player?
- Make sure you opened the downloaded copy, not the original.
- Players cache tags. Remove the song from the library and add it again, or rescan the folder.
- Phones and music apps may keep their own database: re-import the file after editing.
More fixes: metadata not showing.
Other ways to edit MP3 tags
- Windows: File Explorer can edit some fields: right-click the MP3, choose Properties, then Details. For many files at once, a free desktop editor such as Mp3tag is faster.
- Mac: in the Music app, select the song and choose Get Info.
- Converting from YouTube? AudioFetcher can set the title, artist and cover during the conversion.
MP3 Metadata Editor questions
Does MP3 Metadata Editor upload my file?
Your selected media stays on this device. AudioFetcher loads its processing engine, reads the file in browser memory, and creates the result locally.
What should I know before using MP3 Metadata Editor?
The audio stream is copied when possible; only the MP3 container metadata is changed.
Does editing tags re-encode the MP3?
No. The audio is copied as it is; only the tags change. The file sounds exactly the same.
Is the cover art kept?
Yes. A picture already embedded in the MP3 is kept. To add or replace a cover, use the Add Cover Art to MP3 tool.
Does leaving a field blank delete that tag?
No. Blank fields are left as they were. Only the fields you fill in are changed.
Can I edit many MP3 files at once?
This editor handles one file at a time. For a whole library, a desktop tag editor such as Mp3tag on Windows or the Music app on a Mac is quicker.
