Was using mp3Tag until recently. I now use TagScanner, just because it features a built in player. Both are FREE, powerful and sport some amazing features. Highly recommended.

P.S: CNET links are riddled with malwares, spywares & browser hijackers. The problem actually lies with the people. They don’t read ANYTHING. They close their eyes and click their way into installing the downloaded software, as well as other unwanted wares. Best is softpedia or softonic or even better is the software homepage.

My comments don't show up until the next day, when the new giveaway shows up.. Strange.. Or maybe not..

I did not install this software - I already use the best of the bunch, IMHO. MusicBee has a much larger footprint when compared to MediaMonkey, and I do not believe that MM can be beat. As a testament, I became a MediaMonkey Gold - Lifetime user in 1996; and I have never looked back. As a further testament, the free version of MediaMonkey does more than I need, I only paid the price because I felt that MediaMonkey deserved the support.

I downloaded the Portable version – but there are no instructions on how to run the program….

To find and download lyrics and album art automatically you can use open-source (free) AutoLyrix

I really need FLAC support, to work with torrented ROIO (concerts, unreleased recordings). MediaMonkey does this, but why on earth does MediaMonkey need admin privileges to run (Win7)? Was therefore really hoping this Zortam could handle FLAC. If it had, it stood a chance of becoming my default program, but as it is, I'll have to keep looking.

Zortam's lyric database helped me locate many lyrics I couldn't find elsewhere... that was the best part. However sometimes it just froze, and when it did, it fried all my mp3 tags. So now I only use it for lyrics.

I like the program, but Tag&Rename is better for me.

if you need good tag editor, I'd recommend free TigoTago:

I like it for user friendly spreadsheet-like interface
And for Winamp fans or anybody else looking for good music player I'd recommend (previously mentioned here) AIMP:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Players/AIMP-Classic.shtml
similar look and feel as AIMP (many skins available too), but not so blated as latest versions of Winamp.
or have a look at Jaangle (formerly Teen Spirit)
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Players/Teen-Spirit.shtml
or, of course VLC media player

It was offered last November and reviews there might be useful.

I have a large MP3 library so I was interested to give Zortam MP3 Media Studio a trial. Installation was quick. It found the first 17,000 MPs at a cracking pace - and then it hung. I waited about 8 minutes for it to recover before closing it with Process Lasso.

I was willing to forgive this glitch given the large amount of data it had read, until I restarted the program and discovered that it hadn't saved a thing. Apparently it is set to discover every MP3 that it can before saving any data. This really isn't ideal. However I am willing to try again, because the program looks very useful.

However there's something I need to know first! #8 Mike H (or anybody that can confirm or disconfirm his statement) please explain why you said "BE CAREFUL, it is set to overwrite your existing tags by default". I can't see the relevant option in the options menu.

If this program does start amending files without asking permission that is a huge no-no. I'd like to clarify this before running it again. Thanks for any information.

Nice software, but a bit hard to learn. But i haven't used it very much either.

Thanks for sharing though ! :)

I think this free alternative to winamp, known as AIMP does all that is needed and is 100% free , great looks and you can find portableapps installer from the internet.

Easy download, installation and setup. At first glance, it looks good!

@Harry: For people that are serious about their collection is this tool unusable because it don´t work correct with unicode. All tags that were made with other popular tools are in this tool to forget (makes don´t to don4t etc.). You destroy your tags with this tool!

I have been using this program from it's earlier giveaways. I will agree with the fact that it's definitely not for those with little computer knowledge. But, with that said, it is a great program for the advanced user. Locating tags from the web is easy and relatively fast. You even have a choice as to what tags you want to add. One of the downsides is that it's a bit on the hard side to view multiple files at the same time.

I would suggest this program for those that are serious about their collection as it does have a pretty heavy learning curve.

I myself use Media Monkey and I'm very satisfied with it. When Winamp was about to be shut down I looked for alternatives and was very disappointed by most music players. They all seem to copy iTunes nowadays and need to make an own library to be able to play files.
Your suggestion Clementine is based on Amarok and I found it to be a very bad software (on Windows). Clementine seems to have the same issues. But thanks for recommending MusicBee, I don't think it can compare with Media Monkey or Winamp but it seems to be an alternative, finally.

Better programs are free 100%

Wish it recrod mp3, thank

A good product for editing MP3 files, but not good for the novice!

Pros
You can edit multiple MP3 files at once.
Zortam has a pretty good online MP3 autotagger from then net
(as long as you have an artist name and title; does not scan the audio like MusicBrainz Picard - wish they had this feature as well)
You can also rename multiple file names in one swoop.
Things don't change much from update to update.
Not intended to be a MP3 player - more for a ID3 Tagger.
Scrolling lyrics while music is playing.

Cons
Program sometimes crashes for no reason. you can't move around the boxes.
Music player could be improved better.
Only works with MP3 files. No other file formats.

Be sure to save older versions of this program and you should be fine. This program is not for newbies - you need to read the instructions on how to use it properly.

I haven't voted as before I spend any time or bandwidth on it, I need to know, does this only do .mp3s?

My music collection doesn't just have .mp3s. I've got .flac, .ogg, .aac, .ape and a few others besides. I strongly suspect I'm not the only one.

For Windows, I use the free version of Media Monkey which does all the same things as this package not only for .mp3, but for almost any format that exists.

If other file formats are not supported, I see a very limited market for this software.
