🎵 Quick Access with Global Shortcut

Anytime you're listening to your music, use the configurable global shortcut (ctrl+alt+cmd+T by default) to quickly show MusicTagger and find details about the currently playing track and add or remove tags and comments.

⏱️ Timed Comments

Use the Timed Comments feature to add custom comments at specific times of the playing track and quickly jump to that part at anytime. This can be used, for instance, to mark an instrument solo section, different movements or passages in long tracks or whatever message that you want to link to that moment of the song.

🏷️ Organize with Tags

Quickly filter all your songs with the Library Tags window and create playlists based on tag combinations. View all your tags at a glance and see how many tracks are associated with each one.

🔍 Smart Filtering

Filter your music library by selecting multiple tags to find exactly what you're looking for. Create custom playlists on the fly with powerful tag-based filtering (use cmd+click on a tag to exclude from the results).

🌙 Dark Mode Support

Beautiful dark mode support that matches your system preferences, making it easy on the eyes during late-night listening sessions.

How it works?

Custom Tags are stored in the track’s Grouping metadata field. This allows filtering by any combination of tags in the Music app by using smart playlists:

Tags can coexist with any other existing Grouping content while there’s enough space to store them². In case the tags don’t fit in the remaining space MusicTagger will inform before saving so you can chose between discarding some tags or removing the existing grouping to make them fit.

When streaming music from your iCloud Library the tags and timed comments are also synchronized across devices. When playing local files the tags are also written in the file’s metadata.
