Besides being a audio file tag editor MP3-tag is a powerful music collection organizer, audio file search system, personal DJ and more.

Pros: MP3-tag is a audio tag file editor but in addition is music collection organizer, audio file search system, personal DJ and more. This application is a tool for changing tag data for audio files in any format and this information can be changed simultaneously for all files in a folder.

Audio track data such as album, date, genre, track name, lyrics or even album art data are available from on-line databases like the FreeDB. By specifying naming files and folder based on the tag data one can bring order into the usual chaos in a collection containing hundreds of tracks at a the same time.

MP3-tag`s unique feature is a mass search for albums in the Internet. If you have albums of your favorite artists on your computer, MP3-tag will detect them and prompt you to download tags for all tracks at once - a very useful function for true audiophiles. It will let you bring order to your huge audio collection with a few mouse clicks.

Playlists can be created automatically for use by software and audio players. This would be a really nice way of compiling music for background music of a program, a disc for playing in the car system, a party disc or even for playing over the radio. One could even ask the application to find tracks based on tags and control the Winamp and control the player accordingly.

The user interface is really simple with explorer like file browsing facilities and flexible configuration options. That makes it equally easy to use for amateurs and professionals alike.

Cons: Nothing problematic noticed.

Overall a this package is a 4 star performer.
