    The real deal is something like soundminer or basehead.
    But soundminer is a bitch, it's like avid. Basehead comes basically with the same functionality, and it's way less expensive.
    The light version should do for your needs.
    I don't know what you're after, but if you want to edit i.e. description tags in broadcast wav files those two are the only ones on windows that do batch changes and stuff like that.

    hi Plendix, thanks for the reply!
    i'm looking for a program like Mp3tag, but with the ability to change many more tags! url, bpm, etc.. for finished songs to be published! "sorry my english"

    Depends what you want tagging, and if you want custom metadata fields.

    My music collection has a lot of custom tags
    • sub genre (hard house, deep techno etc)
    • Source (studio, compilation, live....)
    • album type (studio, remix, remaster)
    • type (album, 12", single)
    • quality
    and a lot more.

    I use JRiver media center to mass tag everything https://jriver.com/

    i would like a program with the ability to create all possible tags! i don't know if there is a list of the number of possible tags to create, however I would like a "complete" one. i don't speak English well, but i hope i made myself clear! :)

    Software like Tag&Rename will use and display the standard ID2 and ID3 metadata tags, I add my own custom tags

    For a list of ID3 tags see here: https://exiftool.org/TagNames/ID3.html

    now i have a doubt... if this free software gives me the possibility to add all the metadata, what do paid software have more?

    Jriver is a media center, seriously fast searching of multiple tags to create structure in a lot of media. Want to group all of your compilations? Live albums?

    For mp3s - I use beaTunes, and Serato
    For my Sample Library - Loopcloud cant be beat. But samplism is a close second
