Tag App Reviews

Tag can calculate Replay Gain. Handy! (Replay Gains Album Gain is recognized by iTunes; see Get Info > Options > volume adjust)

I have used the open source version of this editor for years and liked it very much, even though it has become somewhat outdated over the years. The completely overhauled version that is now in the app store is been improved in many ways over that old version. So I am glad to pay for this. Tag supports now much more file formats and tags but has kept its simple to use interface. I like the support for album art and replay gain. There is only one feature that I miss: rename files from tags. Why is this feature gone from the open source version? I think this is a unique feature not very common in standard tag editors. So I have to keep the old Tag version installed only for this feature. This is why I put 4 stars. Keep up the good work!

I needed to edit the tag data for some OGG files I had and this did a superb job. I did experience a few issues, however. Pros: - Very fast loading time. - User interface is perfect for simple editing. Cons: - There is no path for support. The website doesnt include an email or way to contact the author (other than via Twitter). This is unfortunate as I would have sent this feedback directly to the author instead of posting it here. - Saving a file appears to have corrupted it. Luckily, I had a backup of the file or I would have been very frustrated. After I saved the file I was unable to open it again in Tag (the OGG format was not detected). Editing the same file again in the same way didnt corrupt it. - This program should provide the option to backup files prior to saving them (for multiple saves) in order to restore possible corruption. - When editing a field, you need to lose focus on the field before the "change" is detected. This is annoying when opening a file to make a quick fix.

Simple tag editing works fine, no issues. However, who really wants to edit every tag manually? There does not seem to be any look-up ability, or if there is, it does not work. If you are looking for a full feature package like "Tag&Rename" in the Windows world, this is not it. It does work for simple updates as advertised.

As basically a Windows guy who purchased my MAC mainly for hi-res music playback, I find myself missing a MAC version of the program dbpoweramp. Between Pure Music and iTunes, I find I have enough music file conversion utility but for getting the last music file details (Doors; Door,The; The Doors; etc.) correct for consistent showing and grouping in iTunes, I need a tag editor. iTunes does a fine job but not with FLAC and some other formats, and the file must be imported into iTunes (first) in order to edit the tags. This program is the best for music tag editing (in the MAC world) I have thus far found. And, it works!

This is a really good app with the potential to grow much further.

this app is not working, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Everytime I double-click on an MP4, this program opens, instead of a movie player of some sort. I do not think this product is programmed correctly. I decided to delete it, but got the message that the program was still open, even though I had quit it. Id stay away until the program is more stable. Theres no uninstaller either. I had to search for feisty-dog to find all the associated files (two of which were containers in the Library folder). I never used the program to fix tags, but it launched when it should not have.

Nice little program. Works well and does not crash even when processing hundreds of files at a time. My main gripe is with the album gain. When adding multiple folders (each folder equals one album) the program treats the list as 1 album. It should recognise that each folder is a different album and act accordingly. Another addition I would like to see are buttons accross the top of the main window so you dont have to goto the menus all the time. Overall this is the nicest tagging program I have found in the app store.

I have an Astel & Kern AK120 portable music player. Tag took my jumble of flac files and tagged them so that theyre organized by artist, album, and allowed me to add album art. The developer is very responsive to suggestions but Tag is already a pleasure to use.

Macbook Air 11” i7 8GB 512GB OSX 10.9 It does not work! Just sits there with the spinning beach ball. Useless. Don’t buy it.

This app looks nice. But it doesnt save your time. It doesnt even make tag editing easier than using iTunes. I mean, try to edit an album or two with it, you will instantly realize how inefficient the workflow is. Improvements/features I would love to see in future updates: 1. Keyboard shortcuts for jumping to the next or previous file. 2. Keyboard shortcuts for removing individual files, and clearing the whole file list. 3. Ability to strip all tags from audio files. 4. Ability to rename audio files according to their tags.

I am running an iterate radio. One of the things that we need to do is to make sure that the songs that we play are taged correctly. I have bought several programs that said that they did this. So Far this is the only one that has worked for me every time. I am very happy with the purchase of this program. Because of what else I have bought to do this I can tell you unequivocally that this program is cheap in comparison and it does what it is supposed to. There are plenty of times that using iTunes to edit tags for what we do is simply not feasible. I wish I had bought this long ago.

I don’t see any way to add new tags - just edit the default ones. I can do that for free with Audacity or iTunes so why is this app $4.99? Also - not including a help file seems shoddy for $4.99. What about changing your description to “Luxury tag editor - allows you to do the same work as free tag editors, but lavishly demonstrate your social status by throwing away $4.99?” I’m not an ad-writer, but that has a nice ring to it. Pros: Let’s you edit tag CONTENTS. Cons: Doesn’t let you edit TAGS. Also, did I mention it costs $4.99 but you can get same results with popular free software such as iTunes and Audacity?

it’s that i really wanted. bring the file, edit tag, and save. that’s it. lighter than iTunes

Crashes in OS X El Capitan.

The app is not very intuitive. It is clunky and either there is no artwork or there is a glitch.
