Is it possible to edit metadata of audio files using Windows built-in tools? Metadata (also known as “MP3 tags”, “ID3 tags”) can be used to store additional information about an audio file, including artist, album, year, comment and genre. If you want to keep your music collection organized, it’s a good idea to embed metadata into audio files, so you can search by artist or album. In this tutorial we’ll show you 3 easy methods to edit music metadata (MP3 tags) in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

  2. Go to the Details<\/strong> tab, you can click the Value<\/strong> column to add or edit artist, album and other metadata for your mp3 file.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Click OK<\/strong> to save your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
