Mp3tag 1.13.5

Mp3tag

A Mac-native metadata editor by Florian Heidenreich for cleaning up music, podcast, and video libraries — batch-editing tags, renaming files from tag data, and pulling artwork from online databases.

Mp3tag has been a standard tag tool on Windows for years; the Mac edition brings the same workflow to macOS with Apple Silicon support and a native interface. You load folders or selections, edit artist, album, title, genre, year, track numbers, and custom fields across many files at once, then save changes back into the files. Supported formats include MP3, MP4/M4V, MKV, FLAC, OGG, Opus, AIF, DSF, MPC, WV, and WAV, covering both audio-only and tagged video containers.

Library workflows

Beyond manual editing, Mp3tag can look up releases on Discogs and MusicBrainz to fill missing tags and download cover art. File renaming works from tag values or the reverse, which helps fix inconsistent folder structures after ripping or downloading. Action groups combine repetitive steps — formatting fields, case conversion, stripping unwanted tags, or resizing embedded artwork — into reusable workflows so large libraries stay consistent. For DJs, collectors, and podcast archivists, the combination of batch edits, online lookup, and scripted actions reduces hours of manual Finder and iTunes-style cleanup.

Licensing and platform

The app requires macOS 10.14.6 Mojave or later and runs natively on Apple Silicon. A 7-day trial counts only days you actually use the app. Purchase is a one-time license via the Mac App Store (about $24.99) or direct from the developer through FastSpring, with Family Sharing supported on the App Store build. Version 1.13.5 (August 8, 2026) is a small maintenance release that fixes toolbar rendering on macOS 11 through 15.
