PHP ID3 Tag Modifier

PHP ID3 Tag Modifier (PITM) is a small app that allows you to :

• List all .mp3 files of a given directory (and sub-directories)
• Rename (and move) them to another one
  • You can do each file at a time using an AJAX request
  • You can do a batch move of all the files in the directory
• Manually edit the common ID3 tags of each file with suggestions given
