Can I do my MP3 properties without using iTunes?

Hi All,

Is there any way I can update the background properties of an mp3 (year, genre etc) WITHOUT having to have it go through iTunes each time, just using the mp3 itself?

Thanks,
Sean

You will need some application that will edit the metadata. I dont know any off-hand for OSX. Unless you know how to write in hex. iTunes works well for that, actually, why not use it?

Thanks for that. I definately don't have the knowledge to do it all myself. There's just some music I like to put the properties in that I don't want to keep in my library, but elsewhere...so I'm always then taking them and their copy out of the iTunes library to file elsewhere.

You can always add it to iTunes, edit the data, then delete it (but don't move files to Trash.)

Search for MP3 File Info Editor for MAC. Maybe you will find something, or someone on here will know.

Does WinAmp have a MAC version? I am too new to the OSX world to know off-hand.

Figured my first post should be helpful;

Here's a very intuitive program I use to sort my iTunes library..

Apple - Downloads - Audio - Musorg

^^ Not a first party program but still straight from the horse's mouth if you will

Many, Many Thanks All!

Oh my gosh, there are dozens (literally) of MP3 editors for Mac that don't require iTunes. To name a few off the top of my head, there's Musicbrainz Picard, Max, Tagr, Simple Tagger ...

Many Thanks...it's all new to me
