What Music Tag is
Music Tag is a desktop application for identifying and editing music-file metadata on Windows and macOS. Digital fingerprinting identifies tracks and downloads titles, artists, albums, genres, and artwork; the product says it recognizes over 35 million songs. Users can manually add, edit, or remove tags, download missing album covers, or import artwork from computer images. Supported formats include MP3, MPEG-4/MP4/AAC, WMA, and FLAC. Saved metadata appears in iTunes, Apple Music, Windows Media Player, and other music players. Music Tag supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 12.4 or newer, plus Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10, and 11; Windows requires .NET Framework 4 or newer. The free trial permits data downloads for any number of files but saving only one file. The maker says files stay local. A lifetime license is a one-time purchase with no listed price, and the purchase page advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee.
