Mp3tag 1.13.3

Mp3tag

A native Mac tag editor for cleaning up large music, podcast, and video libraries by editing metadata, embedded artwork, and filenames in bulk instead of opening each track in a player or iTunes-style inspector.

Developer Florian Heidenreich brought Mp3tag’s long-running Windows workflow to macOS as a separate App Store and standalone app built for batch operations. Drag folders of tracks into the file list, edit tags in the panel or inline, and apply changes to hundreds of files at once. Supported formats include MP3, MP4, M4V, MKV, FLAC, OGG, Opus, AIFF, DSF, MPC, WV, and WAV according to the vendor.

Tagging workflow on Mac

Online Tag Sources connect to Discogs and MusicBrainz to pull album, artist, and track data plus cover art into selected files. Renaming tools derive filenames from tag fields or rewrite tags from filenames, with character replacement and case conversion for messy imports. Action groups chain repeatable steps—strip unwanted fields, normalize genres, resize embedded covers—so podcast archives and DJ libraries stay consistent after each download session.

Library maintenance features

Extended tags expose custom and format-specific fields beyond the main panel, while cover search finds artwork when rips arrive without images. Converters, auto-numbering, and import/export helpers round out workflows for DJs, archivists, and audiobook collectors. Version 1.13 added RF64 WAV support for files larger than four gigabytes, a Where From extended-attribute field, and fixes that preserve unsaved Tag Panel edits when you open Cover Search, Tag Sources, or Actions before saving.

Licensing and fit

Mp3tag sells as a one-time purchase around twenty-five dollars on the Mac App Store or via FastSpring from the developer site, with a seven-day trial that counts only days you actually launch the app. macOS 10.14.6 Mojave or later is required, with native Apple Silicon support. It fits anyone maintaining tagged FLAC or MP3 collections who outgrew manual editing in Music or Finder; it is not a streaming downloader or audio converter first. Version 1.13.3 is a stability patch for Tag Sources navigation during active searches.
