Just in case you don’t know this, I am going to tell you that MP3 music files have tags that include info on the artist, album, music genre, and so on. With specialized applications, you can view and edit these tags. IDFree is such a specialized application – it is a free tool you can use on your Windows-powered machine to edit MP3 tags.

To get started with IDFree you will not have to go through any installation procedure. You will only have to download an archive, extract and run the executable inside. Of course, the fact that IDFree does not have to be installed makes it portable. Feel free to put IDFree on a USB stick and take it with you.

To load tracks into IDFree, click the 'Search for MP3s' button from the upper left hand corner. The application’s interface will then be populated with info extract from their tracks. IDFree allows you to view and edit the following tags: artist name, composer, album name, track title, track number, genre, year, and comment.

Chris Mumford, the application’s developer, explains why he came up with this application:
“I wanted to fix the tags in my fairly large collection of MP3 files and I couldn't find an editor that would easily allow me to easily apply a single change to multiple files. For instance, I wanted to change the genre of an artist (and all of their albums and songs), but existing editors wanted me to change each MP3 file individually.”

As its name points out, IDFree is an application you can use for free.

IDFree’s appeal is in its simplicity. It does not have to be installed, it is very easy to use, it allows you to quickly edit MP3 tags.

Pros

IDFree does not have to be installed, making it portable. The interface is very easy to use. With IDFree you can view and edit MP3 tags (artist name, composer, album name, track title, track number, genre, year, and comment). This is a free application.

Cons

None that I could think of.
