How to Edit MP3 Metadata Online

Change an MP3’s title, artist, album, and cover art online, save an edited copy, and check that the new tags appear in your music player.

Quick answer

To edit MP3 metadata online, add your file to an MP3 tag editor, change its title, artist, album, or artwork, then choose Save. Open the downloaded copy in your music player to check the new details. Renaming the file alone may not change the song title shown in the player.

Edit and save your MP3 in four steps

Open SunoSaver’s MP3 Tag Editor with an MP3 already saved on your phone or computer. The editor works with one file at a time; keep the original until you have checked the edited copy.

  1. Add your MP3

    Choose “Drop an MP3 file here” and select the file, or drag it into the upload area on a computer. Existing tags are read when available. Review those values before replacing them.
    Choose an MP3 in SunoSaver’s tag editor
  2. Update the song details

    Enter the song name in Title and the performer or project name in Artist. Add an Album name if the track belongs to a collection. Track, Year, Genre, Composer, and Lyrics are optional; retain any existing details you want to keep.

  3. Choose cover artwork

    To add or replace the picture, select “Choose cover artwork” under Album cover and pick an image you have permission to use. Check the preview before saving.
  4. Select Save and check the downloaded copy

    Choose Save and wait for processing to finish. Find the edited MP3 in your browser’s Downloads list, then open that copy in a music player. Confirm the title, artist, album, and artwork before replacing the original in your library.

Which MP3 tags should you change?

Start with the details that are missing or incorrect. Here is an example for a track named Morning Drive; use your own song and artist details.

FieldExampleWhat it controls
TitleMorning DriveThe song name shown by compatible music players.
ArtistYour artist nameWho the player lists as the performer and groups the song under.
AlbumAutumn DemosThe collection the song belongs to. Leave it blank if you do not need one.
Track3The song’s place in an album when the player sorts by track number.
Cover artYour square cover imageThe picture embedded in the MP3 for compatible players to display.

File name and song title are different

A file called audio_03.mp3 can still appear as “Morning Drive” in a player if its Title tag contains that name. Likewise, changing a filename to Morning Drive.mp3 does not necessarily replace an old Title tag or fix “Unknown Artist.”

Use Title and Artist to correct the player’s song display. Use the filename to recognize the file in Downloads or File Explorer. With SunoSaver, the title you enter also supplies the downloaded filename; the original filename is used when Title is blank.

Our ID3 tag guide explains how these details are stored inside an MP3.

If your player still shows the old details

First check the saved copy rather than the original. A player may still be showing the version it imported earlier.

  • Open the edited MP3 directly from Downloads and inspect its title and artist in another player.
  • If the new file is correct, refresh or rescan your music library, or remove the old library entry and import the edited copy again.
  • If the saved copy still has the wrong fields, reopen it in the editor, review the values, and save again.
  • If only the picture is missing, check the edited file in another player before changing the text tags. Artwork support and library refresh behavior vary by app.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit MP3 tags on a phone?

You can open the web editor in your phone’s browser and choose an MP3 from Files or Downloads. After saving, open the downloaded copy in a player that supports MP3 tags. File-picker and download locations vary by browser.

Can I edit several MP3 files at once?

SunoSaver’s current tag editor handles one MP3 at a time. Save the edited copy before adding the next file.

Does the MP3 stay on my device?

Existing tags are read in your browser. When you choose Save, the MP3 and any new cover artwork are uploaded for processing so you can download the edited copy.

Can this editor change WAV or FLAC metadata?

This editor accepts MP3 files. Use a tag editor that explicitly supports your format if your source is WAV or FLAC.
