Play Audio Files

mp3Tag was designed to rename and to tag MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, and other types of audio files. However, it is also able to play audio files.

In the "Options" menu, "Play and association" tab, choose a player.

mp3Tag allows using Winamp, your system's default player, or the built-in player. The latter supports only a limited number of formats (most players don't support all the variety of audio formats either, but players like Winamp can be extended to support additional formats by using plug-ins). So, mp3Tag can process (rename or tag) all most popular formats, but only a limited number of formats can be played.

Once a player is set up, you can play audio files by double-clicking them in mp3Tag, or by choosing "Play" from the context menu, or using the following controls:

Please note that when a file is in use (for example, it is being played), you can't save tags or rename it. If you play it using an external player, stop the player before trying to save tags or to rename files. If you use the built-in player, it will be stopped automatically.
