Full-featured tag editor and power-renamer for the digital audio file fanatic.

Featuring support for MP3, WMA, OGG, APE, and VQF tags.

MP3 Tag Clinic's unique spreadsheet-like design maximizes the methods available for editing your tags. While tags are placed in full view and made individually editable field-by-field, they are also made available to a robust range of auto-editing tools and features just a click or two away. Custom combinations of whole tags or tag fields can be quickly selected to have the same automated editing function applied to all of them at one time.
