Stamp ID3 Tag Editor — Easy ID3 Tagging for MP3s

Stamp ID3 Tag Editor — Review: Features, Pros & Cons

Overview

Stamp (by NCH Software) is a lightweight Windows tag editor for MP3, WAV and OGG that adds or edits common metadata fields (title, artist, album, genre, year, track number, comments) and supports playing files before editing.

Key features

• Edit/add ID3 tags: title, artist, album, genre, year, track number, comments
• Supports MP3, WAV, OGG (advertised support for Windows 7–11 and older Windows)
• Batch editing (apply tags to multiple files) and clear tags on multiple files
• Play files from the app before tagging
• Integration with NCH tools (e.g., Switch converter) and small installer (<500 KB)
• Free for non-commercial/home use (paid version for commercial use)

Pros

• Simple, easy-to-learn interface for basic tagging tasks
• Small download and low system requirements
• Works with common portable players and iTunes-compatible metadata
• Batch operations for common tag tasks (set same field across many files)
• Free for personal use

Cons

• Limited advanced batch workflows (some users report less flexible bulk-edit than alternatives)
• Mixed user reviews: occasional bugs and UI quirks reported (e.g., confusing save behavior)
• Installer historically bundled additional components or offered extras — some users complained about unwanted add-ons or context-menu changes during install
• Less powerful than dedicated/tagging-focused tools (Mp3tag, Kid3) for complex automatic tagging, pattern-based renaming, or large library management
• Windows-only (no native macOS build; NCH offers other Mac products separately)

When to choose Stamp

• Choose Stamp if you want a simple, lightweight editor to quickly add or correct basic tags on a small-to-medium music collection and prefer an easy UI.

Alternatives to consider

• Mp3tag — powerful, free, excellent batch and scripting capabilities (Windows; macOS via alternatives)
• Kid3 — cross-platform, advanced tag conversion and batch features
• MusicBrainz Picard — automatic tagging using online database, good for large libraries
