Mp3tag
The universal tag editor
Only for Mac
$29.99
Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files. Musicians, DJs, podcasters, and audio-enthusiasts use it for many different aspects of handling audio files.
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.
Furthermore, it supports online database lookups from Discogs and MusicBrainz, allowing to gather proper tags and download cover art for music libraries.
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.
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. Examples are formatting tag fields, performing case conversion, removing unwanted fields, or adjusting embedded cover art to match required sizes.
## Key Features
- Bulk-Editing of Tags for multiple files at once.
- Editing of cover-art.
- Renaming files based on tags.
- Importing metadata from filenames.
- Assign track and disc numbers via the auto-numbering wizard.
- Importing metadata from online Tag Sources.
- Support for Flexible Tagging, allowing for user-defined tag fields in a standardized way.
- Applying action groups with many tasks combined into reusable workflows.
- Support for many file types under a universal user interface.

more I've been waiting sometime for the MacOS version of MP3Tag which I have used for some time on the Windows platform, and finally it's here!MP3Tag for MacOS has a clean UI and functions quickly as a tag editor. It handles numerous formats that should make most, if not all, users very happy. On the Windows-side of things the developer has always been very responsive to user requests and comments so there's no reason to believe MP3Tag for MacOS will not be supported just as well.One nice thing as well is this is a one-time purchase and not one of a growing, and annoying, trend of subscription services.

This is an absolutely amazing and intuitive app. It does what it says with ease, speed and efficiency. I began to digitize my music collection (1600 albums) with the Windows version, which was the best tag editor I could find. But I snagged the Mac version almost as soon as it came out, and it is a significant upgrade. The Adjust feature that allows users to resample, crop or change formats for their album art is brilliant. The time (and frustration) that I have saved with this app are worth many times the price. Thank you Florian! Best app I have ever purchased from the app store.

This has been a game changer for preping for my gigs. Before I was doing this all manually within Rekord box which was very time consuming. This works great. There is one small glitch/ bug that I keep running into which I hope will be resolved:When clicking the title track (double click) it sometimes freezes the entire program and the only way to get out of it is to excit out of the app. I just need to be mindful of how many times I click it but other than that this program is great.
