The Top 3 Free MP3 Tag Editors

ID3 tag is metadata of the audio file, which contains the information like title, artist, album, track number, style and other information about the file itself. Generally, it locates in the beginning or ending several bytes of the MP3 file. There are two versions of ID3 tag:

(The following explanation is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 )

ID3v1:

ID3v1 takes the form of a 128-byte segment at the end of an MP3 file containing a fixed set of data fields. It begins with "TAG" character.

ID3v2:

ID3v2 is structurally very different from ID3v1, consisting of an extensible set of "frames" located at the start of the file. It can store lyric, album cover and more.

If there is no ID3 tag in the audio file, the file still can be played but it may lead to some troubles in managing the music files.
