Editor's review of 123Tag

• 3.0 stars

123Tag's layout is outdated and cumbersome, but not impossible. On the left is a directory tree of your music, and clicking on a folder shows you the list of songs in the center pane. Click on one to see its metatag details at the bottom. From there you can play the song through the built-in player or edit the tag details. The player's Play button is always grayed out, so you have to click on it to make sure a track is queued.

You can, however, rename the track based on current or edited metatag info, and you can also batch-edit tracks. The bland, icon-only layout, however, doesn't clarify this, and makes it quite difficult to figure what the program is really capable of.

If you've selected at least one track, you can hit F7 or click on the icon with the File Tag & Rename mouse-over label. I'd describe the icon to you, but it's too small to tell what it is. A pencil, perhaps? Anyway, from there users can access the best feature of the program: To change metatag info, select a filename based on this data, and change an entire album of songs at once. You can customize not only what information gets used in the MP3 name, but the order in which it appears. The program does take you where you want to go, but it's not a fun or particularly pleasant way of getting there.

  Version: 123Tag 1.38

  "Easy to use and great value for money"

  by gerrykhs on January 23, 2008

  Pros: Not the first time I have had a bundle of tracks with mp3 tags and file name likes Audio 1 or Track 1 etc. With a few simple clicks you can easily turn the tag name into a file name. Numerous other features. All in all great value for money.
