Software to change the data fields in an MP3

[dbminter]

When you rip a CD to an MP3 with something like say Windows Media Player, the software populates the fields of Artist, Title, etc.  If you have a CD with no available track information, you get things like Track 01 for a Title.  So, I was wondering if there was software available to load an MP3 so you can edit these fields.  Freeware, of course.    Thanks!

It's better to add the info at the time of rip using CDex. - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/

 

After the rip you can add the info with Mp3tag. - http://mp3tag.de/en/index.html

Thanks!

 

 

Looks like I could also load the MP3 in 4Dots I have installed and edit the fields in that before converting them back to an MP3.

You can even use Winamp with Alt+3 to edit the tag why convert them back?

[dbminter]

Because I didn't know WinAmp could do that. 

 

 

That's available in the free version, right?

Apparently, ALT+3 doesn't work with .WAV.  Some fool entered the wrong data on whatever Windows Media Player uses and now most of the tracks have the wrong information.  I can change the file names, but it doesn't change the internal information that pops up in WinAmp when I play these lossless WAV files. 

 

 

EDIT: Discovered Shift+E. 

 

 

EDIT: Shift+E doesn't work!  It changes the data field but does not actually update the file.  The changes disappear upon exit.

I thought that WAV files don't have tags but seems that some info could be added in some forms.

 

Here is some nice info and links to some programs that deals with WAV files. http://wavmetadata.blogspot.ro/
