Tag Editor



MusicBrainz Picard, a tag editor

A tag editor (or tagger) is a piece of software that supports editing metadata of multimediafile formats, rather than the actual file content. These are mainly taggers for common audio tagging formats like ID3, APE, and Vorbis comments (for example Windows Media Player and iTunes), but can also be taggers for JPEG, PDF and TIFF metadata (for example iPhoto).

A common purpose of tag editors is to correct or update metadata and enable sorting and grouping of multimedia files, for example music collections. This often happens in a batch processing mode so that one doesn't have to manually edit every file on its own.

Automatic Tag Editor analyses your library and pick for you close tag matches, just tap on the one you prefer and you are done. It will only take five seconds per song.Guaranteed!

Audio files editing techniques[edit]

Manual[edit]

DigiKam, an image tag editor

Media players such as iTunes, Foobar2000 or Winamp, as well as dedicated tag editing programs allow users to manually edit tag and song file information, including composer and release year. Dedicated tag editors may feature batch processing and creating tags from file names and vice versa.

Online music databases[edit]

One type of tag editor compares the existing metadata in an audio file's tags with the information from online music databases, such as Gracenote, Discogs, freedb, Zortam Music Internet Database (ZMLIMD) or MusicBrainz. Once a match is found, complementary metadata information may be downloaded. This process is semi-automatic because more than one match may be found.[1]

Acoustic fingerprinting[edit]

An acoustic fingerprint is a unique code generated from an audio waveform. Depending upon the particular algorithm, acoustic fingerprints can be used to automatically categorize or identify an audio sample. Practical uses of acoustic fingerprinting include broadcast monitoring, identification of music and ads being played,[2]peer-to-peernetwork monitoring, sound effect library management, and video identification.

  2. About ID3 Tag Editor. ID3 Tag Editor is a free audio file data tagging ID3 format editor, support ID3 tag version include: ID3v1 and ID3v2, this audio tool can read and write metadata tags for MP3, FLAC, Ogg-Vorbis, Monkey's Audio, Musepack, and Shorten audio files with full Unicode support, this software is freeware and completely free, it is free personal, commercial, and non-profit use.

In hash function, for audio identification, such as finding out whether an MP3 file matches one of a list of known items, one could use a conventional hash function such as MD5, but this would be very sensitive to highly likely perturbations such as time-shifting, CD read errors, different compression algorithms or implementations or changes in volume. Using something like MD5 is useful as a first pass to find exactly-identical files, but another, more advanced algorithm is required to find all items that would nonetheless be interpreted as identical by a human listener.
