Apple Silicon version seen at v3.9.7 · Reported by 1 Mac in the community.
Kid3 is a comprehensive audio file tagging application designed for music enthusiasts who need to organize their digital music collections. This KDE-developed tool allows users to efficiently edit metadata tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis comments, APE, MP4) across multiple audio formats including MP3, FLAC, OGG, MP4, and many others. Kid3 is particularly popular among users with large music libraries because it supports batch editing, automatic tag generation from filenames, and can fetch album information from online databases like MusicBrainz and Discogs. The application offers both a graphical interface and command-line tools, making it suitable for both casual users and power users who need to process thousands of audio files. A native Apple Silicon version (v3.9.7) has been confirmed running on real Macs in our user base.
