Tagr App Reviews

Instead of importing the podcast mp3 into iTunes, dealing with it being in your library, having a possible copy in your iTunes folder, having it uploaded to the cloud via iTunes Match, or any other iTunes related funny business, you just use this. Open it, import the file, fill out the metadata, save to disk. Boom.

This app has been great for adding the artist and album information for my bounces out of Logic and ProTools.

Very useful in correcting my music library metadata and finding misnamed files. The search could be better within the library. Maybe using filters for each column like itunes does. The ability to save a list of files to come back to later would also be great.

This makes it absolutely useless for me. Sad news, I like the UI.

I realy wish I paid more attention to what the app is supposed to do. I was expecting more than the app offers. Basically it’s a batch file renaming and metadata editing utility - at least that is my understanding as I found the app too complicated for me to understand. What I actually was looking for in the app could be summarized as: Take bunch of my MP3 files => automatically identify the song for each file => automatically pull the album image from the web together with some basic metadata => apply it to the MP3 files => put the files back into iTunes. It does most of the tasks I described, but not quite automaticaly :( For that I have much faster end results with Wikipedia and the “Get Info” button in iTunes library :( However, I do admit that I did not give it much time. After spending an hour trying to match some metadata from a list the app pulled from Discogs (after a rather complicated process of having to create my own account at discogs, etc..) I just gave up, deleted the app, opened Wikipedia and processed some of the albums manually. Ended-up being faster doing it this way. I am not bashing the app - it does what it says it will .. renaming the filenames in a fullly customized and standardized way… but at $10 I simply expected at least some auto-matching features. It’s not the fault of the developer - I just did not do my research (app description text did not lie or mislead). However, the possibility of a trial version would have solved everything - I would have realized the App is too complicated for me and it does not provide the features I was primarily looking for. I would have simply deleted the trial, would not waste $10 and the time by writing this review.

I use this to tag my podcast files. It works well. If you want to be really fancy, you can use Keyboard Maestro to auto-fill in the fields on the left side. That’s pretty sweet. This app would get 5 stars if the UI was updated to match Apple’s recent look (Yosemite and El Capitan). Check out Ulysses if you want to see an example. Overall, works well and does what it says it does.

As a podcaster of 11 years, I love this app. It really speeds up my workflow in getting my shows ready to publish. I use Tagr on every show, and I publish at least five shows a week.

I download a lot of mix videos from YouTube and convert them to mp3, and this program is straight forward and does exactly what I need for tagging. Only thing, why is there no X button on the window? You have to select up on the toolbar or click on the dashboard icon to quit the program.
