About:
Kid3 is a powerful, cross-platform audio tagger designed for efficient editing of audio metadata across multiple file formats. It allows users to synchronize tags with filenames, edit multiple files simultaneously, and fetch tag data from online sources like MusicBrainz and Discogs. The tool streamlines the organization of large music libraries by providing batch processing capabilities and scripting support.
Key Features:
  • Batch tag editing for multiple files and formats
  • Automatic tag synchronization with filenames and directory structures
  • Integration with online databases (MusicBrainz, Discogs, Freedb)
  • Support for ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis, APE, and iTunes tags
  • Scripting support for custom automation workflows
Use Cases:
  • Organizing large personal music collections with consistent metadata
  • Preparing audio files for professional distribution or digital release
  • Batch converting and standardizing tags across mixed-format libraries
Alternatives:
  • MusicBrainz Picard – Picard focuses on acoustic fingerprinting and automatic identification, while Kid3 excels at manual batch editing and filename synchronization.
  • beets – beets is a command-line library manager with tagging automation, whereas Kid3 provides a comprehensive GUI for direct tag manipulation.
