Tag Stripper App Reviews
works
as intended — maybe future update only delete certain parts of tags
this is FANTASTIC !
easy to use, very efficient, get the job done ! Bravo !
Fantastic app that quickly strips the nasty metadata away. Thanks to the dev for taking the time to make Tag Stripper and for giving it away for free.
Searched the internet and Apple forums to remove unnecessary data files from an mp3 memory stick that I use in my Honda. This does exactly what was described and no loss of music. I no longer get those “Unplayable File / Unsupported File” messsages on my radio. Drag and Drop and Strip. Thank you for making something quite easy to use!
Perfect!!
Did exactly what i needed. Simple and easy! Thanks for being free!!!
Turns videos to audio files…
For some reason, this just turned my video files into audio files… good thing I backed up my videos and didn’t use the overwrite function!
Great application!
Simple and sweet. Does exactly what is expected.
simple & effective
quick and easy to use, does the job as described.
Stay away
If you use this on MP4’s - it strips out the Video portion of the file. DANGEROUS.
Does the trick!
This app does exactly as advertised. Strips your mp3 of all tags. Works perfectly :)
I just needed something simple to strip all the junk tags from a ton of mp3s so I just import than into iTunes with the file name becoming the track name. Worked fast and perfect.
After installing I experienced random program hangs. I emailed the developer and he responded almost instantly with help that resolved my issue. Great customer service!!! He also told me that an update is in the works which is great news. Its devs like this that keep me comming back to the App store.
Been using it consistently for the past few months now… And it still works as advertised… Version 1.2 strips multiple files without any hiccups… Shout out to the developer…will definetly be on the lookout for other app releases from Mark-V!
I thought it was pretty good until I added my cleared metadata songs to iTunes. This program changed my mp3s from 320 (CBR) kbps to 320 (VBR) kbps. If you take good care of your music collection, DO NOT download this app.
Im also experiencing that this program changes 320kbps (CBR) to 320kbps (VBR) of my mp3s. Otherwise its seems a great little tool to do the job. But if it only removes tag information, it shouldnt change a song with a constant bit rate to a variable bitrate. I hope this gets fixed since I really would like to use this app.
Works perfectly
Works perfectly, thank you for creating this tool!
Awesome
got rid of the id3 tags on a whole album and saved me the work of having to edit song by song
Just what i wanted
I just wanted to get rid of all the annoying and unsitely tags from my music and this is exactly what i was looking for
I used to love this app. Right now, it does not work. Maybe it is just OSX El CAPITAN but I used to drag like 40 folders and it would clear it up in seconds. Now with ESX EL CAPITAN, I cant drag anymore. I still give this 5 stars but with capitan, i dont know what happened. Anyone else?
DO NOT USE ON VIDEO!!!
When used on MP4 files, Tag Stripper also strips the VIDEO as well, leaving you with an MP4 file that contains audio only.
Needs an update
It works perfectly, but I recently received a message from Apple saying it fails some new requirement (and I assume may be removed at some point as a result).
Wonderful!
Just what I wanted: Simple, Fast, Effective. Adding an "ad files" button would make it event better.
Strips video
One star for saying you support MP4 even though your app strips the video. Someone mentioned this in a review here 6 years ago and you still haven't fixed this or updated your description. Now I have to find and restore overwritten files. Thanks for wasting my time.
Works as promised under High Sierra
Although the app is now 6 years old, it worked quickly and accurately and indeed stripped all the tags from the selected songs. Thanks!
Fixed a broken M4A file!
I had a song I could never play in iTunes (Music app) because it couldn't read the duration or bitrate. I thought it would be a complex fix going into the file header and whatnot, but this app fixed it in 2 seconds and iTunes (Music) is happy to play it now, thank you guys!!
Not for video
I know this is in the Music category but I treid it for video files with funky tags. DO NOT DO THIS. The app supports MP4 files but removes the video from the file and leaves you with just the audio track.
Worked perfectly!
I converted some MP3s to ringtones, but they were sorting wrong because of tags I can't see. This app stripped all the tags and preview artwork in an instant! Recommend!

What the hell

constant/variable bitrate issue
I'm also experiencing that this program changes 320kbps (CBR) to 320kbps (VBR) of my mp3s. Otherwise its seems a great little tool to do the job. But if it only removes tag information, it shouldn't change a song with a constant bit rate to a variable bitrate. I hope this gets fixed since I really would like to use this app.
BAD APP
I thought it was pretty good until I added my cleared metadata songs to iTunes. This program changed my mp3's from 320 (CBR) kbps to 320 (VBR) kbps. If you take good care of your music collection, DO NOT download this app.
Still working...
