MP3 tags (metadata) store essential details like the song title, artist, album name, and year, which are used by media players and mobile devices to organize your library.

We walk you through the simple process of accessing the file properties, navigating to the details tab, and updating the information. We also cover a common troubleshooting tip: making sure the file isn't currently playing while you try to edit it! This method works for any version of Windows and is a great way to clean up your music collection.
