What is a good .mp3/.m4v tag editor for OS X

Question

What is a good .mp3/.m4v tag editor for OS X that's not iTunes?

I'd prefer free but I'm open to anything.

I've looked at ID3 Editor but that only does .mp3 (from what I could see).

I want to set my own values so no need for an auto-tagger.

Solution 1

Easytag is available through Fink:

fink install easytag

Homebrew:

brew install easy-tag

and MacPorts:

port install easytag

Marco Schuh produced an unofficial native build, though it seems the file is currently (Feb. 2018) offline.

Solution 2

You can use the Swiss Army knife Mp3tag right within Mac OS. Take a look here:

Solution 3

I'm interested in this also - I've tried a few MP3 taggers to no avail as all have so far paled in comparison to Tag&Rename which is still Windows only - I still run VirtualBox for this one application.

For .m4v files I've been using the wonderful MetaX - have used this for my entire DVD collection.

Are you looking for an auto tagger or a simple editor?

ID3 is good in Windows, never used it in OS X, and I just used it for mp3.

Thanks but it's not for me and the user that needs it is far from command line savvy

Have you used this under OS X? If so, how well does it work for you?

i used fink a long time ago, i don't have a mac anymore but at the time every application in there that i tried worked so i have no reason to believe that easytag wouldn't.
