On this EverythingTech I demonstrate how you can add or edit ID3 tags from your MP3’s using iTunes.

So what is an ID3 tag? Wikipeda states: “ID3 is a metadata container most often used in conjunction with the MP3 audio file format. It allows information such as the title, artist, album, track number, or other information about the file to be stored in the file itself.”

I was putting the finishing touches on the latest GeekFit Podcast which is when I load the file into iTunes and copy over some of the ID3 tags to be used in the current podcast file. I thought I should show everyone how the process works and give a small demo for all to see.

ID3 tags are important for podcasters since most of the time people download them MP3 file without visiting the podcasters site. By putting in all the info you would want your listeners to know into the mp3 file’s ID3 tag you’ve given your listener another way of knowing who made the podcast and how to contact you.

iTunes isn’t THE BEST program to change ID3 tags, but it is a program lots of people use. Later I’ll uncover a few more applications that do this same function and some that even automate the process.
