How to Edit MP3 Title Tags
Editing the MP3 title tag is one of the most common metadata tasks. The title tag stores the song name that appears in music players, making it essential for proper library organization. Our online MP3 title editormakes it quick and easy to change song titles without installing software.
Whether you're fixing incorrectly tagged files, organizing downloaded music, or preparing tracks for distribution, accurate title tags are crucial. The title is stored in the ID3 tag metadata, separate from the filename, so changing it doesn't affect the audio quality or require renaming the file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does changing the MP3 title affect the filename?
No, the MP3 title tag and filename are separate. Changing the title tag only modifies the metadata stored inside the file - it doesn't rename the file itself. The title tag is what music players display, while the filename is what you see in file explorers.
Will editing the title reduce audio quality?
No, editing the title tag has no effect on audio quality. The title is stored in the ID3 metadata section, completely separate from the audio data. Only the metadata is modified - the audio stream remains unchanged and bit-perfect.
Can I edit titles for multiple MP3 files at once?
Yes! Free users can edit up to 5 MP3 files simultaneously. Pro users can batch process up to 50 files at once. However, each file needs its own unique title - batch editing is more useful for other fields like artist or album that might be the same across multiple tracks.
What characters can I use in MP3 titles?
You can use almost any characters in MP3 titles including letters, numbers, spaces, and special characters. ID3v2 tags support Unicode, so you can use characters from any language. However, avoid using characters that might cause issues in filenames if you plan to sync the title with the filename later.
Will the new title display on all devices?
Yes, the title tag is part of the standard ID3 format supported by all modern music players and devices. Once you edit the title, it will display correctly on computers, smartphones, tablets, car stereos, and any other device that plays MP3 files.
