What is Kid3?
Kid3 edits the metadata stored in audio files so you can give an album consistent artist, title, year and genre information without entering the same values for every track. It supports MP3, FLAC, Ogg/Vorbis, MP4/AAC and other formats, with controls for individual tag frames as well as shared fields across selected files.
You can generate tags from filenames or rename files using their tags, import album information from MusicBrainz and Discogs, and export metadata as CSV or HTML. Embedded cover art and synchronized lyrics can also be edited in supported tag formats.
Tag support depends on the file format: not every field maps to every format, and the handbook specifically notes that Author and Performer may be unsupported in ASF/WMA. The linked 3.10.2 DMG is the Apple Silicon build; the publisher provides separate Intel and older-macOS Qt 5 packages. The screenshot is the publisher's macOS interface example, not a capture of this release running in our environment.
What it offers
- Apply shared artist, album, year and genre values to multiple selected audio files.
- Edit ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags, with support for additional audio metadata formats.
- Generate tags from filenames or rename files and directories using tag values.
- Import album data from MusicBrainz and Discogs; export tags as CSV or HTML.
- Edit embedded artwork and synchronized lyrics where the tag format supports them.
Good to know
- Available metadata fields vary by format; the handbook identifies Author and Performer as examples that may be unsupported in ASF/WMA.
- This DMG targets Apple Silicon. Intel Macs and older macOS versions have separate publisher packages.
