See every tag inside your MP3 or WAV file, then change any of them

Why Use Our ID3 Tag Editor?

Every Tag, Editable

Title, artist, album, album artist, composer, genre, year, track, disc, BPM, ISRC, comments, lyrics - plus any custom tags already on the file.

Audio Never Re-Encoded

We rewrite the tag block and copy the audio stream bit for bit, so a 320kbps MP3 stays a 320kbps MP3.

Deleted After Download

Your file is processed on our secure servers and removed as soon as the download completes. Nothing is stored or shared.

How to Use the ID3 Tag Editor

  1. Upload Your Audio - Drop in an MP3 or WAV file. Its current tags are read back automatically.
  2. Review the Tags - See every field the file already carries, including cover art and any custom tags.
  3. Edit the Fields - Change any value, or clear a field to delete that tag entirely.
  4. Download - Save the retagged file. The audio stream is copied bit for bit.

Common Use Cases

  • Fix a messy music library with wrong or missing artist and album tags
  • Tag podcast episodes with title, season and publisher before publishing
  • Credit jingles, station IDs and radio imaging correctly
  • Add or replace cover art on an MP3
  • Strip personal or client metadata from a file before sharing it
  • Set the genre and BPM on production music before importing to a DAW

Supported Audio Formats

MP3, WAV.

What Is an ID3 Tag, and Why Does It Matter?

An ID3 tag is a block of text tucked inside an MP3 file. It is what your player reads to show a track name instead of track_07_final_FINAL.mp3. The original ID3v1 spec allowed 30 characters per field and nothing else. ID3v2, which every modern player uses, holds dozens of fields plus embedded cover art.

Tags matter the moment a file leaves your computer. Radio playout systems sort by artist and title. Podcast hosts read the album and publisher fields. Music libraries group by genre and year. A file with empty tags shows up as Unknown Artist everywhere it lands.

This editor writes ID3v2.3 with an ID3v1 fallback. That pairing is deliberate: ffmpeg defaults to ID3v2.4, which Windows Explorer and a good deal of broadcast software still quietly ignore.

MP3 vs WAV: Why Some Fields Vanish on a WAV

WAV files do not use ID3 at all. They store metadata in a RIFF LIST INFO chunk, a much older and much smaller scheme with a fixed set of slots. There is a slot for artist and one for genre, but none for album artist, composer, disc number, publisher, BPM or cover art.

Most editors accept those fields on a WAV, report success, and throw the values away. This one greys out the fields the container cannot hold, so what you see after saving is what is genuinely in the file. If you need the full tag set, convert to MP3 first with our audio file converter, then tag the MP3.

Tagging Jingles, Station IDs and Radio Imaging

Broadcast libraries live or die on their metadata. A station running hundreds of jingles, sweepers and IDs needs each one to carry a consistent artist, a genre that groups it with its siblings, and a comment field noting the campaign or the voice talent. Playout software sorts on exactly those fields.

A practical convention: put the production house in artist, the campaign or imaging package in album, the type of cut in genre (Jingle, Sweeper, Station ID), and the air dates in comment. Do it once at delivery and the library stays searchable for years.

Want to check the technical side of a file too - bitrate, sample rate, channel layout? Use the audio inspector. Need the jingles themselves? Our AI jingle maker produces broadcast-ready jingles in minutes, already tagged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ID3 tag editor free?

Yes, completely free with no signup and no watermark.

Can I see the existing metadata before I change anything?

Yes. As soon as you select a file the editor reads it back and fills every field with what is already there, including tags other editors hide.

Which tags can I edit?

Title, artist, album, album artist, track, disc, genre, year, composer, publisher, copyright, language, BPM, ISRC, grouping, mood, conductor, encoded by, comment and lyrics. Any custom or non-standard tag already on the file is shown and stays editable too.

Does editing tags reduce audio quality?

No. Only the tag block is rewritten. The audio stream is copied bit for bit, so the file that comes back is the same recording at the same bitrate.

Can I edit metadata in a WAV file?

Yes, within the limits of the format. WAV stores tags in a RIFF INFO chunk that only has slots for title, artist, album, genre, date, track, comment, copyright, language, encoded by and ISRC. Fields like album artist, composer, disc, publisher and BPM have nowhere to live in a WAV, so the editor greys them out instead of letting the save fail silently.

How do I delete a tag?

Clear the field and save. An empty field removes that tag from the file rather than writing an empty value.

Can I add or change cover art?

Yes, on MP3 files. You can preview the embedded artwork, replace it with a JPG or PNG, or remove it. The WAV format cannot store cover art at all.

What happens to my file after I edit it?

It is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted the moment your download finishes. It is never stored, indexed or shared.

What is an ID3 tag?

An ID3 tag is a small block of text stored inside an MP3 file that tells players who made the track and what it is called. Modern files use ID3v2, which holds dozens of fields plus embedded artwork. This editor writes ID3v2.3 with an ID3v1 fallback, the combination with the widest player support.

Which formats are supported?

MP3 and WAV, up to 10MB and 5 minutes.
