Tag Editor is a software application that supports editing metadata of multimedia file formats, rather than the actual file content. These are taggers for common audio tagging formats like ID3, APE and Vorbis comments.

This often happens in a batch processing style so that you don’t have to sit and manually edit everything on your own, saving a lot of time.
