Need to fix inconsistent music tags or bring order to filenames across an album folder? TagScanner edits tags in batches, builds tag details from filenames, and renames tracks using information already stored in their metadata.
Batch tag editing and conversion
Load multiple audio files to edit their metadata together, including artist, album, title, and track details. TagScanner handles common tag families such as ID3, Vorbis Comments, APEv2, WMA, and MP4/iTunes metadata, and can convert between tag versions.
Formatting tools apply text replacements and case changes to tag fields or filenames. The program also supports embedded lyrics and cover art, with an option to resize artwork for portable devices.
Filename parsing and track renaming
TagScanner works in both directions between names and metadata: patterns in file or folder names can supply tag information, while existing tags can determine new filenames. This supports workflows such as extracting track numbers and titles from a consistent naming pattern, then applying an artist-album-track format to the files.
Online album data and exports
For album details or cover images, TagScanner can query online databases including Discogs, MusicBrainz, and freedb. A built-in audio player lets users listen while organizing tracks.
