ID3TagEd is an application to allow the creation and/or editing of MP3 ID3 version 1 tags, and a range of frames of the ID3 version 2 tags. It will run on Iyonix, BeagleBoard, PandaBoard and Raspberry Pi hardware, and should also run on earlier hardware.
A comprehensive user interface is provided to allow easy editing of version 1 and version 2 tags. The main window is shown below.
Not only can the tags of individual mp3 files be edited, but a selection of mp3 files can be edited as a batch process.
ID3TagEd has undergone a substantial rewrite of a number of its features since version 0.25 was released.
