Welcome

ID3 tags provides you with the Title, Artist, Year, Genre and other great information when you're listening to music. Here you will find the current standards documents; pointers to software libraries in just about every language and other interesting information.

ID3 tags are the audio file data standard for MP3 files in active use by software and hardware developers around the world. ID3 tags are supported in software such as [http://itunes.com iTunes], [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/ Windows Media Player], [http://winamp.com/ Winamp], YME, [http://musicmatch.com/ MusicMatch] and hardware players like the [http://www.apple.com/ipod iPod], [http://creative.com/products/welcome.asp?category=213 Creative Zen], [http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/acat.to?seg=HHO&coid=-26604 Toshiba Gigabeat] and [http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start;sid=iol0yFUOhSp0HBatp1p-wxoAGM34hD9Kq80=?CategoryName=pa_mp3players&Dept=audio Sony Walkman].

An ID3 tag is a data container within an MP3 audio file stored in a prescribed format. This data commonly contains the Artist name, Song title, Year and Genre of the current audio file.

If you've read this far and are confused, check the [:ID3v2Easy: ID3v2Easy] page for a short, low-tech introduction.

While there are legacy and future standards for ID3 tags, the most popular version implemented today is ID3 [:id3v2.3.0: version 2.3]. A follow on version, [:id3v2.4.0-structure: 2.4], is documented on this website but has not achieved popular status due to some disagreements on some of the revisions and the tremendous inertia present in the software and hardware marketplace.

Consumers should read the ["Introduction"] where the basics of the ID3 tagging format and its history are covered. On that page are links to basic technical information about how ID3 tags work. The [:FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)] page contains some additional items of interest.
