ID3 tags are an integral part of digital audio files, especially MP3s. These tags contain metadata that provide information about the audio file, such as artist name, album title, track number, and genre. This information is used by media players and libraries to sort and display audio files in a meaningful way.
For example if you had your own podcast that was hosted online then adding ID3 tags to each audio file prior to uploading would enable you to add other information such as publish date, description, hosts and people featured and other information that could be read by audio player software as well as search engines and online platforms to make it easier for people to find your content which could be considered a type of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

Editing ID3 tags can also be useful for correcting errors or adding missing information. However, it’s important to note that modifying ID3 tags can sometimes cause compatibility issues with certain media players or devices.
