This tool removes every kind of trash from your mp3-files. It searches for valid mp3 audiodata-frames and removes everything else. This has the big advantage that it will also remove tags which are in the middle of the file (as is the case with joined tracks) as well as broken frames (half-downloads) and malicious tags (Tag-buffer-overflow bug in WinAMP and Windows XP). Use this tool to cleanup your mp3 files before you add your own tag. No more double tags, or annoying ‘Lyrics’ data containing group names or misspelled song names.
Axone.jar is a utility allowing you to view all the information available in an MP3 file. This is not to be misunderstood: all the possible information. In the tag version 2 (ID3V2), the information is subdivided into frames and there are many more frames declared than frames actually displayed by MP3 players. Well Axone.jar knows how to display them all, without exceptions and whatever the version!
Very classic frames such as title, album, artist, year, genre, track and comment.
Other frames displayed by only some MP3 players.
the image(s).
the composer.
the text of the song.
volume control (itunes)
The frames that are hidden from you (not necessarily with bad intentions).
Undeclared frames, not understood and therefore clearly hidden from all MP3 players.
The other frames usually not used.
Other data
The Lyrics and TAG+ tags, which are completely obsolete, may remain forgotten in certain files. If they are present, Axone.jar displays them.
When the software reads an MP3 file to display the current tag, it does a summary check of the audio data. It gives you the classic information on bitrate, sampling frequency, duration, etc.; but also if it finds excess or erroneous data. Excess data can be a sign of corrupted audio data, or of data intentionally hidden if the file was purchased on a merchant site (or if you did P2P). At this level, it is important to understand that the audio decoder is robust in the sense that data that is incomprehensible to it is simply skipped. It is therefore very easy to hide data between audio data, without risking disturbing MP3 players.

I wrote this because I wanted a command line tool that could add album art to (and save from) mp3 files, compute replaygain and save them as ID3 tags (readable by Winamp, etc).
Features:
Write (all) Text, URL and Picture frame tags, with description.
Compute replay-gain values and set them as ID3v2.3 tags.
Apply and Undo volume gain (as mp3gain).
Extract pictures from mp3 files.
Inspect ID3 v1.1, v2.3, and v2.4 tags.
Inspect detailed info on mp3 files, including lametag data.
TagLib is a library for reading and editing the meta-data of several popular audio formats. Currently it supports both ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files, Ogg Vorbis comments and ID3 tags and Vorbis comments in FLAC, MPC, Speex, WavPack, TrueAudio, WAV, AIFF, MP4 and ASF files.
Vinyl sounds better, looks better, feels better and even smells better. But digital does have its benefits, musical metadata is one of them. Having the key, tempo and other musical metadata for your records at a glance would be useful. Disconest uses The Echonest music database to find information about releases registered on Discogs.
AudioRanger is a powerful and versatile music tagger designed to automatically identify and organize your digital music collection.Runs on Windows and Mac. Feature-rich free version available. (Has limits)
This component displays several groups of items which are described in the following sections. The item names are displayed in upper-case letters in the UI element, but can also be used in lower-case in title formatting code, since field names in title formatting are case-insensitive.
The Location group contains information about the physical location of the track.
The Tag Fields group contains the user-modifiable metadata fields of the track.
The technical Fields groups contains technical information fields that are provided by the decoder.
The Replaygain group contains the Replaygain data of the track.
