MP3 tags are metadata associated with MP3 music files. They include different types of information such as album artist, contributing artist, year of release, genre, bit rate, ratings, copyright, etc.
The primary use of MP3 tags or file metadata is to provide details about the nature and origin of an MP3 file. Besides, the metadata helps you organize your music files in an orderly manner. For example, when you buy music files online, they could have metadata already filled-up. You can instantly classify music by their artists, year of release, and other attributes. You can also conduct a thorough search to find out all albums of a specific artist. In short, metadata makes it incredibly easy to sort, search and organize your music.
