Abyssmedia ID3 Tag Editor - Short Review

Music Tools

Abyssmedia ID3 Tag Editor is a free, intuitive, and lightweight audio tag editor designed for Windows users, developed by Abyss Media Company. This tool is specifically created to help users organize and manage their music collections by editing, copying, adding, and removing metadata from audio files.

Key Features



Supported Audio Formats

The editor supports a wide range of audio formats, including MP3, MP4, FLAC, WMA, OGG Vorbis, M4A, WAV, WV, and APE. This versatility makes it a comprehensive solution for managing diverse music libraries.

User Interface and Navigation

Abyssmedia ID3 Tag Editor features a simple and easy-to-use interface. Users can navigate to their music files using the left pane or drag-and-drop files directly into the program. The tracks are displayed in the right pane, and selecting a track allows users to edit its metadata in the bottom half of the window.

Metadata Editing

The editor provides 13 fields for editing metadata, including Title, Artist, Album, Album Artist, Genre, Composer, Disc Number, Track Number, Year, BPM (Beats per minute), Key, Comment, and Copyright. These fields are standard text boxes, allowing for easy editing. Additional buttons enable users to copy, paste, save, remove, or clear all tag fields.

Album Art Management

Users can manage album art by right-clicking on the image preview. This allows them to remove the current image, add new cover art from supported formats like PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, and BMP, or extract the existing image from the file.

Automatic Tag Identification

The program includes a feature to automatically fetch tags for songs using the “Identify” button on the toolbar. While this feature is not perfect and may not always work, it can save time by adding title, artist, album, and year tags to the track.

Playback Integration

Users can double-click on a song to play it in their default audio player, which is useful for checking if the tags are working correctly.

Additional Features

  • High-DPI Monitor Support: The latest versions of the software include support for high-DPI monitors, ensuring a clear and sharp interface on modern displays.
  • Integration with Other Tools: The program has close integration with other audio tools from the same developer, although these additional tools may not be free.


Limitations

While Abyssmedia ID3 Tag Editor is highly functional, it does have a few limitations. Notably, it does not allow users to rename the file itself from within the utility, and a portable version of the software is not available.

Conclusion

Abyssmedia ID3 Tag Editor is a no-frills, yet effective tool for managing and editing ID3 tags in audio files. Its simplicity, lightweight design, and free availability make it an excellent choice for users looking to organize their music collections efficiently.
