Tagging mp3s...

Post by marcusJmckenna » Thu Feb 27, 2014 2:38 pm

Hi guys...
I've created a beat in Ableton Live and I want to submit it to a certain music blog. In their submission guidelines the blog asks for "properly tagged mp3s in 320kbps format".

Can I simply import the exported Ableton created .wav file to itunes...Convert to a 320kbps mp3 file in iTunes...then right click and go to the get info section and fill in the Name, Artist Name, Album, Genre, Year?

I'm getting the impression that "proper tagging" includes more than this..ie..I have to use some tagging/meta Data software other than itunes...am I wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help

Yeah you could use iTunes to do it I suppose. The tags available in iTunes should be sufficient for submission.

You don't say what blog it is though, or if you're using Mac or PC, so it's hard to make any further suggestions.

iTunes should be fine for that, any other software should be able to read those tags with no problem.
