Tagger
The Tagger is a music metadata editor for macOS that lets users edit ID3 tags and other metadata in MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, and other audio formats. It is used by people with large music libraries who want to organize, rename and standardize tags across many files at once without relying on iTunes or streaming-service integrations. The app supports batch editing of track numbers, artist, album, genre, artwork and other common fields.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Tagger has not been updated since version 1.6.2 (released in 2017) and remains an Intel-only application. The developer, Deadbeat Software, appears to have ceased active development. There is no native Apple Silicon build and no sign of ongoing maintenance. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on current Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), at which point this app will stop launching entirely. You have approximately 18 months to plan a transition. If you need to continue editing music metadata after late 2027, consider Tagr, a modern actively-maintained alternative available on the Mac App Store that runs natively on Apple Silicon. Tagr offers similar batch editing, tag generation, Discogs integration, and file renaming features. It is a paid app (currently $8.99) but serves the same use case and is regularly updated by its developer.
