Windows 10: windows 10 freezing/memory leaking when editing mp3 tags from folder details panel

Anyone else experiencing this?

Mine is a modest PC with 8 gigs of ram, maybe not enough to set mp3s artist/title?

I'm running windows 10 21h1, next month I'll be forced to upgrade to 22h2 but I don't think will change anything.

Can't edit mp3 tags from explorer

I had a hard time a few weeks ago compiling MP3 files to play on MZD Connect on my Mazda. There were various tagging and data integrity issues which I fixed as below. My approach may be overkill for your needs!

MP3 File Analysis

1. MP3 files store music metadata (ID3 Tags) which can be in several formats. ID3 Tag v2.3 has proven to work with MZD Connect. The ID3 Tags can be converted in iTunes by viewing the tracks in Library / Songs view then selecting File / Convert / Convert ID3 Tags, then select v2.3. An alternative method is listed in step 3 below.
2. Use the free program Tagscanner TagScanner - The Ultimate Tag Editor to check and edit the MP3 file metadata for artist, album art etc. The same editing can be done in iTunes but Tagscanner is much easier and faster. Check both the artist and album artist fields are completed, the song name & album name are correct, track number & disc number are set and that embedded album art is present for every track. Note multiple tracks can be selected and edited simultaneously.
3. Check the tags for each music file are correctly set to v2.3 in Tagscanner. Cut the tag then paste it back in the same place to set v2.3 if the incorrect version is set.
4. Perform a Google image search for the artist and album name to find a JPG file for missing album covers. Save a suitable artwork file size c. 300x300 pixels then add the album art for each track in Tagscanner.
5. Use free program MP3Test Willkommen auf Shivan's Homepage to quickly check and test for MP3 file errors. Correct any simple errors using Tagscanner.
6. Use the free program MP3Diags MP3 Diags to perform a detailed check of MP3 files and correct errors. This program has a learning curve and some experience to use. Inexperienced computer users may prefer to skip this step and just rely on step 5 above.

 

edit tag of mp3 songs

1. Open the parent folder in Windows Explorer, in the search box (top right) type *.mp3 to find all mp3 files in all sub folders.

2. On the view ribbon, click the Detail Pane button on the left, so the details pane pops up on the right

3. Select all the mp3 files (click the first one and then Shift click the last one)

4. In the details pane edit the 'Encoded by' tag and click the 'Save' button and you are done

I hope this is the answer you were looking for!

 

MP3 Tagging software recommendations

Here is the free software I used to sort out the MP3 tags for my Mazda's USB music playback which is very fussy about formats:

1. Tagscanner TagScanner - The Ultimate Tag Editor to check and edit the MP3 file metadata.
2. MP3Test Willkommen auf Shivan's Homepage to quickly check and test for MP3 file errors. Correct any simple errors using Tagscanner above.
3. MP3Diags MP3 Diags to perform a detailed check of MP3 files and correct errors. This program has a learning curve and some experience to use.
