What Mp3tag is best at
Best for: power users who want every format and a repeatable workflow.Mp3tag edits tags across many files at once, renames files from tags, imports tags from file names, edits cover art and runs action groups that combine many steps into a reusable workflow. It looks up tags and covers from Discogs and MusicBrainz and reads a long list of formats, including MP3, M4A, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, AIF, DSF, WAV and MKA. The Mac version is $24.99 on the Mac App Store and is also sold direct, with a free 7-day trial that counts only the days you use it. If your library mixes formats and you like building your own workflows, Mp3tag is hard to beat.
What TuneRight does differently
Best for: songs with wrong names or no tags, and a safe way to fix them.Mp3tag looks up tags on Discogs and MusicBrainz, and its store description does not mention identifying a song by its sound. TuneRight listens to each song and finds the release it belongs to, even when the file has no useful tags. Every proposed change sits in a review list grouped by album, nothing is written until you apply it, and an applied change can be undone, even after a restart. One Mac App Store reviewer of Mp3tag wrote, “I don't think there is an 'undo' once you commit to the changes.”
