What Reezaa MP3 Tag Editor does well

• Simple, focused interface for editing ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags.
• Batch operations to update many files at once (title, artist, album, year, genre, track number, album art).
• Quick renaming of files based on tag values and vice versa (populate tags from filenames).
• Lightweight and fast for large folders.

Before you start: preparation and backups

1. Backup your collection. Always copy the folder you’ll edit to another drive or make an archive. Batch changes can be hard to reverse if something goes wrong.
2. Decide a metadata standard. Choose consistent formats for artist names, album titles, and track numbers (e.g., “01 – Track Title” for filenames; “Artist — Album” capitalization rules).
3. Gather album art images if you want to add covers. Use consistent image sizes (e.g., 300–600 px square) and filenames you can identify easily.

Installing and launching Reezaa MP3 Tag Editor

3. Familiarize yourself with the main panels: file list, tag fields, and preview/album art area.

Step 1 — Adding files and folders

1. Use File > Open Folder (or the Add Files button) to load the folder containing the MP3s you want to edit.
2. The program lists files and shows existing tag fields. Sort by filename, album, or artist to group tracks you’ll edit together.

Step 2 — Inspect and filter files

1. Scan the file list for inconsistencies: missing titles, generic “Track 01” labels, or wrong artist names.
2. Use the search/filter box (if available) to show only files missing a particular field, e.g., filter for files where Album is empty.

Step 3 — Batch editing common fields

Batch editing is safest when files are correctly grouped (same album or same artist).

• Select multiple files by Shift+click (contiguous) or Ctrl+click (non-contiguous).
• Edit a tag field (Album, Artist, Year, Genre) in the right-side panel; then save/apply. The change will write to all selected files’ tags.

Examples:

• Set Album = “Greatest Hits” for all tracks in the compilation folder.
• Set Artist = “Various Artists” for compilations or a single artist name for an album.

Step 4 — Editing track numbers and titles

1. If filenames contain track numbers and titles (e.g., “01 – Song Title.mp3”), use the “Filename to Tag” feature to parse and populate Title and Track fields automatically.
2. Choose or define the parsing pattern (common pattern: “track – title”). Preview results before applying.
3. For missing track numbers, use the tool’s auto-numbering function or manually enter the first track number and fill sequentially.

Step 5 — Adding or replacing album art in batch

1. Select all files in an album.
2. Use the Add Cover or Set Album Art button and pick a single image file.
3. Apply; the image will embed into all selected MP3s’ ID3v2 tag.

Tip: Use a square image (300–600 px) and moderate file size (50–200 KB) to balance quality and file bloat.

---

Step 6 — Using tag templates and scripts

• If Reezaa supports templates or format strings, create templates for common use cases (e.g., “%track% – %title%”).
• Apply templates to generate filenames from tags or vice versa.

---

Step 7 — Renaming files from tags (Tag → Filename)

1. Define a filename pattern such as “%track% – %artist% – %title%.mp3”.
2. Preview the new filenames and ensure no duplicates or illegal characters.
3. Apply rename; the files on disk will update to match tags.

---

Step 8 — Saving changes and verification

1. After editing, click Save (or Write Tags) to commit changes.
2. Reopen a few files in a different player or tag viewer to verify tags and album art display correctly.
3. If errors occurred, restore from your backup and retry with adjusted steps.

Troubleshooting common issues

• Tags not updating: ensure you saved changes and that files aren’t write-protected.
• Wrong encoding (garbled non-Latin characters): switch the ID3v2 encoding (UTF-8 or UTF-16) in settings if available.
• Duplicate files after renaming: preview filename changes and enable “skip duplicates” or resolve conflicts manually.

Best practices & workflow tips

• Work album-by-album, not entire libraries at once. Smaller batches reduce risk.
• Keep a consistent naming pattern and capitalization rules.
• Use a separate folder for “processing” so your original structure is preserved until you’re satisfied.
• Maintain a small set of cover image sizes to avoid bloating files.

Quick checklist before committing batch writes

• [ ] Backup folder copied elsewhere
• [ ] Consistent naming/metadata standard chosen
• [ ] Files grouped by album or artist
• [ ] Previewed any filename → tag or tag → filename changes
• [ ] Confirmed album art size and file size
