What’s ID3 Tag?
ID3 is a metadata container most used on MP3 audio format. It provides audio data standard for MP3 music files, including Title, Artist, Year, Genre and other great information. All ID3 tags are supported by our common use player software and hardware, like iTunes, Windows Media Player, YME and hardware players like iPod, Creative Zen, Sony Walkman etc.
ID3v1 and ID3v2
Although ID3 is sometimes referred to as a standard, the term applies only in the de facto sense, as no standardization body was involved in its creation nor has such an organization given it a formal approval status. There are two versions for ID3: ID3v1 and ID3v2.
In 1996, Eric Kemp developed a method to resolve the audio data storing problem. Now this method was known as ID3v1, which finally became the de facto standard for storing metadata in MP3s. ID3v2 was created by multiple contributors, which is no relation to ID3v1. ID3v2 tags are of variable size, and usually occur at the start of the file, to aid streaming media. They consist of a number of frames, each of which contains a piece of metadata.
Why We Need to Edit ID3 Tag Information?
We usually collect MP3 music files from disparate sources, like buying music from iTunes, Amazon or other music sites, or sharing from friends, families, or downloading from some music sharing websites, P2P websites. If you buy the music from store, there will be whole ID3 tag stored in these music files. But if you download the music from websites, or shared by friends, the ID3 tag may be broken. So if we want our music organized, we have to find a third-party application of platform to edit the ID3 tag.
