MediaMonkey is a music player with a built-in tag editor, which is surprisingly as good as a standalone tag editor meeting the basic needs. It allows editing basic and detailed tag information, auto tags from filenames, move or rename files based on track tags.
It also supports editing lyrics and multiple images with types and descriptions for album art, and allows fixing of tags in your selected MP3 files with automatic lookup and tagging of album art and other track information from Amazon online database.
AudioShell is not a standard alone application but a Windows Explorer shell extension. Unlike all the above applications, it allows you to view and edit tag information directly in Windows Explorer.
After installing AudioShell, you do not need to run it again. It adds 27 optional additional columns to show tags in Explorer "Details" view.
Editing basic tags and the cover art of an MP3 file is allowed at Editor tab of Properties windows, and editing lyrics is allowed at Summary tab in Advanced mode. Group editing is possible by selecting multiple files.
AudioShell does not offer connection to online databases, but it is a good program to accompany any one of the above applications.

I recommend you an another beautiful sound free software, MP3Gain. MP3Gain analyzes mp3 files to determine how loud they sound to the human ear. It can then adjust the mp3 files so that they all have the same loudness without any quality loss.
This is probably a good candidate for Best Free Audio Editing Software.
TagScanner is certainly powerful, but its non-standard interface is incredibly frustrating. Far-be-it from me to suggest Windows is itself the best model for a UI, but at least it provides a standard and there's nothing in the way that TagScanner works that needs/justifies such a complete departure from the basic Windows standard, and the TagScanner UI is very far from intuitive to me (based on almost 30 years of using a wide variety of UIs).
What about The GodFather. I have been using it for a long time and found that its very powerful tag editor.
:)
Good suggestion. It has been updated in the review. Thanks.
If you're not intimidated by its interface, I haven't yet found anything more powerful than MP3BookHelper. It appears that it's no longer in development and lacks synchronization with online databases, but for mass tagging using regular expressions and the like, it works marvelously.

Thanks for the helpful info. It has been included for review.
Jojoyee....you should check out File Renamer Basic.

Yes, it is quite a good software designed more towards file renaming. I notice that it is being reviewed under the category of "Best Free File Rename Utility".
It has a built-in ID3 Tag editor, but its functions are quite limited as compared to other software designed more solely for editing tags.
Tag & Rename is a great one as well!
This has been excluded as it is not a freeware.
Another good one which I use is Audioshell, which lets you edit the ID3 tags from the properties pages of the files - no need to start up another program! You can add cover art, plus all the usual ones and you can do multiple ones by choosing multiple ones and doing the group properties. Well worth it.

Yes, I tried this software sometime ago. As it has added more features supporting cover arts and lyrics, it will be included for next review soon. Many thanks for the update.
Just recently switched from MP3 Tag Tools to TagScanner - All I can say is WOW!
I really like MP3Tag but have had trouble with tagging ogg vorbis files (does not do album art). TagScanner handles them very well and runs clean as a portable app, but is taking a while to get used to.
You should take a look at ID3-TagIT as well http://www.id3-tagit.de/
Very good.

I did use this tag editor sometime ago. It will be included in the next review. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the list! But don't forget EasyTAG:
http://easytag.sourceforge.net/
It's free and OpenSource.
Good info. It will be evaluated in the next review.
What about Picard or media monkey? I use these as well as MP3 tag tools
Yes, Picard is one of the best tools if you have a large amount of MP3s to tag. It can fetch the info bases on a song's "fingerprint", so if you haven't got a clue what the MP3's info is all about it's one of the best!
Thanks for the good suggestion. It will be included in the next review soon.
MP3Tag is my choice
A long time, now
:-)
