(Written in Visual Basic. May require VB6 Runtime available here.
An ID3 is a 128-byte string added to the end of an MP3 file that contains title, artist, album, etc. There are numerous ID3 taggers out there and I'm sure at least a few do basically the same thing as this. But in my case, I wanted one to do the following things so I wrote my own:
* Parse artist name and title from .MP3 file name and capitalize if desired
* Edit and "lock" attributes and automatically write them to all files
IE easily set Genre to "Pop-Folk" for all files in a directory.
* When manually editing attributes, app will automatically advance to
next file in the file list after writing ID3.
* Drag any folder or MP3 file over YAID3T icon to launch YAID3T pre-set
to desired directory. Similarly, you can create a shortcut in Send To
to give right-click access to YAID3T.
* Generates a basic WinAmp playlist (.M3U file)
Saves ID3 in v1.0 format unless you have set Track info, in which case v1.1 will be used.

History
Version 1.1.5 (released 21 Jan 02)
Changed the way directories are processed which sped things up considerably when processing a lot of .MP3s at once.
Version 1.1.0
Fixed issue where app was using short filenames (8.3) rather than long filenames when launched from a directory or file via drag/drop or Send To. App now uses long filenames.
