You can edit basic music metadata in Windows File Explorer: right-click a track, choose Properties, open Details, change an available field, then select Apply and OK. For fields Explorer does not offer, or for editing many tracks at once, use a dedicated tag editor such as Mp3tag. Use MusicBrainz Picard when you want to identify tracks or match an album to MusicBrainz.
Music metadata—also called tags—is information stored with an audio file, such as its song title, artist, album, track number, year, genre, and cover art. What you can edit and what a playback app displays depend partly on the file format and the app.
Choose the right way to edit your music tags
| Method | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| File Explorer | A quick change to one file or a few files | Only some fields are available, and availability varies by file and format. A Windows 10 guide also describes editing common fields for multiple selected files; if the field you need is missing or the edit does not stick, use a tag editor. Windows Central’s instructions are a secondary guide, not current Microsoft documentation. |
| Mp3tag | Manual cleanup, including batch edits | Lets you edit tags directly in its Tag Panel or File List and save edits for selected files. It supports many formats, but tag behavior differs by format. Mp3tag’s main-window documentation explains the interface. |
| MusicBrainz Picard | Identifying tracks and matching an album to MusicBrainz | Shows existing and proposed metadata for review before you save, and also permits manual edits. See Picard’s usage guide and metadata pane documentation. |
Before choosing, consider whether you are changing one track or a collection, correcting known values or identifying unknown tracks, and whether you need to add or fix cover art. Also consider the file format and the player you use: a successful edit is only useful if that player reads the tags it writes.
Edit a music file in File Explorer
- In File Explorer, browse to the music file.
- Right-click the file and select Properties.
- Open the Details tab.
- Select an available metadata value, enter the correction, then select Apply and OK.
- Reopen Properties or check the file in your playback app to confirm the change.
Explorer does not expose every tag for every file. If a value cannot be selected or edited, or the change does not persist, switch to a dedicated tag editor rather than assuming Windows can write that field for the file.

Batch-edit tracks with Mp3tag
Mp3tag’s official download page listed version 3.36.1 and Windows 10 and Windows 11 support when checked on October 8, 2026; check the page for the current release before downloading.
- Install and open Mp3tag, then load the folder or files you want to edit.
- Select one track or several tracks. For a batch edit, select files that should share the value you are changing.
- Edit available values in the Tag Panel or directly in the File List. For example, correct a shared album name on a group of tracks, but edit each track’s title or track number individually if those values differ.
- Save the changes in Mp3tag, then verify the files in your playback app.
Mp3tag supports many audio formats, but the tags used for the same kind of information are not identical across them. Its supported-format reference lists format-specific tag types and read, write, and remove behavior. For example, WAV can use RIFF INFO and ID3v2 tags, while WMA uses ASF/Windows Media tags. Check the entry for your exact format if a field behaves unexpectedly.

Use Picard to identify tracks and match albums
Picard is suited to a different job from direct tag cleanup: it can match tracks and albums against MusicBrainz and propose metadata based on that identification. Review the proposed values against the tracks before saving; Picard also supports manual tag-value edits through its metadata pane. The metadata pane guide describes how to inspect and edit values.
Protect your files and verify the result
- Back up important music files before a large edit.
- Try the workflow on a small sample before processing a collection.
- Check the song title, artist, album, track and disc numbers, year, genre, and artwork in the player you actually use.
- For batch edits, confirm that shared values were applied only to the intended tracks.
Troubleshoot tags that seem missing or incorrect
- Reopen the file in the editor and confirm that the change was saved.
- Check the file’s exact format and whether the editor supports writing the field or tag type you changed. Tag conventions and read/write behavior vary by format; consult the Mp3tag format reference where relevant.
- Refresh or rescan the library in the playback app. If the value still appears wrong, open the same file in another player to distinguish a file-tag issue from a library display or cache issue.
- If the editor exposes multiple tag versions, check for conflicting values and correct the one your playback app reads.
One narrow historical compatibility case is documented in Picard’s configuration FAQ: older Windows Media Player versions could fail to read ID3v2.4, fall back to ID3v1, and show a title limited to 30 characters. The FAQ says Windows 10 version 1703 added ID3v2.4 support. This explains a possible legacy-player display issue; it should not be generalized to all current players or Windows 11.
