dbminter Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 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!
ianymaty Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 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
dbminter Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 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.
ianymaty Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 You can even use Winamp with Alt+3 to edit the tag why convert them back?
dbminter Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Because I didn't know WinAmp could do that. That's available in the free version, right?
dbminter Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 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.
ianymaty Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 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/
