Moreover, it supports queries from web-based databases such as Discogs, Amazon, MusicBrainz and FreeDB. It could then auto-update tags in your audio library, including cover art.

  • 9. How does Mp3tag handles tracks named “track01”, “track03”, etc.?

    The tool comes built in with a functionality that helps link up FreeDB online database for importing tags from the right album. This brings a much needed end to the MP3 albums that come with generic track names such as “track1”, “track2”, etc. Though the data FreeDB sends could be at times erroneous, things are fairly amicable overall.

  • 10. Are there flaws with the tagging?

    The tool definitely makes editing metadata easy. But it isn’t the most accurate tool at that. Often, the edited data could have certain errors. In other words, the tags aren’t standardized. All of a sudden, the author becomes the show’s producer, for instance. The file titles could be at times incomprehensible as well.
