As a very new one to the MP3 world please provide some info about the use of this beautiful application.
What I have currently on my PC is MP3 files in some directories. Usually the file name is in the format of:
Betales - Yesterday.mp3 etc.
What I would like to do is to burn the files into a CD, and play them in my car (I have MP3 car radio).
My question is:
Do I need to create IDTAG etc. in order to view the name of the Artist / name of song in my car radio ?
What are the main uses of this nice program ?
thanks for help

Yes, in most cases the car radio reads information from an ID3v1 or an ID3v2 tag.

Hard to tell, because everyone uses other parts of the program for his/her personal tagging process 🙂
You can find a list of main features at [http://mp3tag.de/en/](http://mp3tag.de/en/)
Simply try out some things, look at the help file and search the forum if you encounter a problem and if you don't find a solution feel free to ask.
Best regards,
