How to Add an Album Title to MP3 Freeware

MP3 files use ID3 tags to store information such as the artist name, song name, album title, year and genre for each MP3. If used correctly, the ID3 tagging system can help keep a large collection of MP3s in order on the computer. But over time many MP3 collectors find that many of their MP3s are missing important ID3 tag information. There are programs available to help add the proper album titles and other missing information to ID3 tags.
