HOw do you change the id tag on the mp3 file?

[DDCSpeed]

When I try to change the id tag on 1 of the mp3 files i downloaded, I cant change its id tag because it wont let me. Is there a way to get around it?

 

[Platypus]

It probably wont let you because you are listening to the song, that used to be an old problem. If you have winamp, just right click the file in your playlist and choose "File Name or Edit Name" or something like that, you will see it. Now change it .

You should be able to change the ID3 tag. What MP3 player(software) do you use to listen to it?

 

[cdan]

In Winamp you right click and select file info. If you don't have the playlist open you can double click on the scrolling artist, name and time bar to change it.

Also, make sure the MP3 is not read-only.

Hey guys

BIG THANKS. I got it. It is because it is read only so I cannot change it.

ME BIG DUMMY

BlueApple - That app's great. One thing though, how can I automaticly make the id tag come from the file name without having to do it with each mp3?

 

[BlueApple]

JustinSampson: I don't think I can help you with that, I just did a search on download.com for ID3 Tag and got that link, sorry. Does using F1 help you at all? Is there a website they give you, or an email address for tech-support? Good luck.

I use MIR to do filename->ID3. The interface needs a little getting used to though.

Just right click on the Mp3 file and goto properties and uncheck read-only you will be able to change it after that.
