Tag&Rename review
A one-time-purchase Windows editor for batch tagging, renaming and artwork tasks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tag&Rename is a Windows desktop application for editing and organizing music metadata, aimed at solo users and small collections that need batch tools across varied audio formats. It supports both manual and batch multi-file tag editing, can rename files and folders using music metadata, and includes playlist creation. The vendor describes support for 20 audio formats, including MP3, WMA, MP4/M4A, Ogg, FLAC, Opus, WAV, AIFF and DSF. Its scope is music-file organization rather than a broader music library or streaming service.
Metadata lookup and artwork are central to the workflow. Tag&Rename can retrieve album information from freedb, Amazon and Discogs, and import cover art; embedded artwork can also be resized and converted. The listed integrations additionally include tracktype.org. After editing, metadata can be exported as CSV, XML, HTML or tab-delimited text. This combination suits people who want to organize local files, update tags in groups and produce structured metadata exports. The lookup choices do not include MusicBrainz, so users who specifically depend on that service should consider another editor.
The published pricing is a single Tag&Rename registration at $29.95 USD, paid once, with a 30-day trial that includes a nag screen. There is no free plan. The product is distributed as a Windows download, so it is not a fit for users seeking a Mac, Linux or browser-based tool. Email is the stated support channel. Choose Tag&Rename if you want a Windows-based utility that combines multi-file tagging, metadata-based renaming, online album lookups and artwork handling for a one-time fee; look elsewhere if you need another platform or MusicBrainz lookup.
