-
Upload Your Music Files

-
Save Changes
If you want to change tags such as title, artist, album art, genre, etc., you can edit them manually. When you're done, click "Save" to update all changes to the ID3 tags.

Re-match Metadata If Needed
If some tags fail to match or no results are found, try clicking the "Reset" button (above the music cover). Then click "Auto Fix" again or enter the correct title and artist to try it again.
-
Match Lyrics to Your Songs
Our music tag editor not only reads existing lyric tags, but also automatically matches and embeds lyrics into your songs. You can edit, copy, or download the lyrics in LRC, TXT, or SRC formats as needed, with optional timestamps for each line.
How to Organize Your Music Library?
After batch tagging or fixing metadata, the music tag editor helps you efficiently clean up and organize your music library. It supports major audio formats such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, etc., and multiple ID3 versions, and is compatible with ID3v1, ID3v2.3, and ID3v2.4, ensuring smooth playback across music players and DJ software.
Browse and Preview Your Music
Sort by metadata fields
Click any column header — such as Title, Artist, Year, Genre, or BPM — to sort your music files in ascending or descending order.
Customize visible columns
You can drag and reorder columns freely, or click the dropdown button on the far right of the column bar to customize which metadata fields are displayed.
Lock specific metadata fields
Click the lock icon in the header to lock selected fields (such as Title, Artist, or Year). When performing automatic metadata matching, ID3Genius will only fill in missing information while preserving your existing tags.
Album artwork preview and editing
Left-click an album cover to view it in high resolution. You can also right-click the artwork to change, view, or remove the album cover.
Built-in music player
You can double-click a song or right-click it and choose Play to preview the track and check whether the audio matches its metadata.
File Management and Saving Options
Save changes directly
When you’re ready to apply the corrected metadata, click "Save" to overwrite the original file with the auto-matched ID3 information.
Custom Save to prevent data loss
Alternatively, click Custom Save and enable “Save as New File” to avoid accidental data loss or metadata mismatches.
Automatically organize files into folders
To organize your music library by Artist or Album, enable “Save to Subfolder by”. ID3Genius will automatically place files into corresponding folders.
Batch rename music files
To rename files in bulk, enable “Auto Rename” and define your own naming rules using metadata fields,
such as: {Artist} - {Album} - {Title}
This helps keep your music files consistently named and neatly organized.
