Overview

LightMan TagEditor is a meta tag information editor for ID3 tag information used in MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, FLAC, APE, WV, M4A, AAC and MPC files.

The software lets the user add song tracks, select them individually, and edit their meta tag information. The tracks are individually selectable and can be edited for only ID3 v 1.1 or ID3 v 2.x tag information standards. The tag editor lets the user access title, artist, album, year, genre and comments information, and make changes where they see fit. This can help with the correct cataloging of albums later. FreeDB can be used as an online download source for correct ID tag information for a song track or album.

The lyrics for a song track can also be looked up online.

The software has a dark skin theme which may be difficult for some users to see clearly if they have any sight difficulties.
