ID3 tag editors for music?<br>
<br>
I just finished ripping a DVD with Handbrake and realized I didn't<br>
change the meta-data in Handbrake. When I play the movie it's got a<br>
different title at the top of the movie because I forgot to edit the<br>
meta-data.<br>
<br>
It doesn't really make sense to try to re-encode the movie with<br>
Handbrake, but it's the simplest way I know.<br>
