Automated ID3 and MP3 filename tagger
TriTag is a popular utility for automatically managing the ID3 labels of your MP3 collection. It is designed for those who prefer not to use iTunes for managing their music. With TriTag, you can easily organize your MP3s by automatically retagging ID3 and MP3 file names in batches.
One of the main features of TriTag is its ability to create unique directory structures for your music files, such as artist/album/track, similar to the "Consolidate Library" function in iTunes. This helps you keep your music collection well-organized and easily accessible.
Unfortunately, TriTag does not allow manual editing of ID3 tags. However, it compensates for this limitation by using file information to tag ID3s automatically. Additionally, TriTag features an integrated FreeDB database search, which can be used to tag files when the filename or ID3 tag does not contain any information. However, it is worth noting that the FreeDB database search is currently not working due to changes in its operation.
Although TriTag provides excellent functionality for managing badly tagged MP3 collections, its overall interface could benefit from an overhaul. The interface is plain and unattractive, which may not appeal to all users. However, if you are looking for an automated solution to organize and clean up your MP3 collection, TriTag can be a useful tool.
