MP3 Tag: My song is already live – can I change the tags afterwards?

In short: Changing the tags in MP3Tag doesn't change anything for a song that's already live with the distributor.

The tags you edit in MP3Tag are stored in the audio file. A song that has already been released on streaming services or stores keeps the data it was submitted with.

If you want to change the data of a live song:

  1. The release has to be removed from the distributor and resubmitted.
  2. Be sure to note down the ISRC beforehand. It has to stay the same, because it's the identifier of your song across all stores and for royalties.
  3. The best thing to do is to contact support.

About the ISRC in general: You shouldn't change an ISRC that has already been assigned. It's the permanent identifier of your song.
