Any good ID3 tags modifier?

I have a few songs that aren't read by the miniplayer because their ID3 tags are a bit messed up. The miniplayer just lists them as unknown artists. I was wondering if there are any easy free programs out there I can use? Bonus points for any Mac OSX compatible ones. Thanks ahead of time.

try searching for "id3" on http://sourceforge.net. you will find quite a lot of java based id3tag tools. they are free and platform independent(ish). i use fixtag which is quite basic, but suits my needs just fine.

i hate to say this as i seriously dislike itunes but.... itunes is easy to create or rewrite tags...

I don't know mac well but I'm surprised there isn't a media player for it that makes good tags, most media players for Windows do it just fine.

there are special programs for tagging ... search a bit on download.com and you will find one
as i never really have tagging problems with my files i dont use them...so i cant be of much help here

Please...
Can you try using "mp3tag"?
Is a free program that handles very well tags
Thank you
PD.: Don't you forget donating to the guy who build it!!

I use it too, it is so easy, retag all my music in a few minutes

I use MediaMonkey for all Meizu-related mp3-management, both syncing and tagging works great.
