| 10 May 2020 | 3.8.3 | Besides bug fixes, this release provides usability improvements, additional keyboard shortcuts and user action scripts. Special thanks go to various people at KDE, who translated the user interface and the handbook to new languages. |
| 23 Jan 2020 | 3.8.2 | This bugfix release fixes a crash that happens when frames are removed from M4A files. Additionally it brings new Catalan, Portuguese and Ukrainian translations. |
| 23 Dec 2019 | 3.8.1 | This bugfix release solves some problems with the binary packages for Linux and Android. Improvements include information about the number of files in the status bar and about the identifier of RVA2 and UFID frames in the frame table. String replacements are now executed in order and support regular expressions. |
| 24 Aug 2019 | 3.8.0 | The CLI now supports JSON for input and output and is independent of any GUI libraries. Other improvements concern better compatibility with iTunes. The import from tags function can now operate on all selected files and return extracted values to scripts. |
| 18 Mar 2019 | 3.7.1 | This release primarily brings bug fixes and usability improvements. Most new features target the Android version, which now supports a dark theme, a better file selection dialog and more configuration options. |
| 23 Dec 2018 | 3.7.0 | The most important new feature is a playlist editor. Playlist items can be added, removed and reordered. Improvements include editors for the formats to convert between tags and file names and drop down lists with available tag values when multiple files are selected. The new file list fixes problems with updates when directories are renamed. |
| 24 Aug 2018 | 3.6.2 | This bugfix release fixes the use of free form MP4 atoms, import from CSV with DOS line endings, the application icon in KDE wayland sessions and other bugs. The generation of file names from tags is improved by supporting conditional text around a value from the tags, which is only inserted when the corresponding value exists. |
| 23 Apr 2018 | 3.6.1 | This bugfix release improves the speed when saving with a lot of unchanged files in the directory. It fixes wrong parsing of the xid atom when using the Mp4v2Metadata plugin, scrolling to the opened file when using a custom sort order in the file list and avoids changing the file name extension when setting file names from the tags. |
| 18 Mar 2018 | 3.6.0 | Ratings can now be edited using stars with configurable mapping between rating values and the number of stars. New options include a maximum length for file names and showing hidden files. Support for MP4 files is improved by handling more atom types.

| 02 Nov 2017 | 3.5.1 | This bugfix release fixes a crash with DSF files having sample rates other than 2822400 or 5644800 Hz. It also brings a few usability improvements. |
| 16 Jun 2017 | 3.5.0 | Besides bug fixes and performance improvements, Kid3 3.5.0 brings new features like marking violations of the ID3v2 standard. It is now possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to user actions. The command line version can access frame fields, multiple frames of the same kind and subsets of frames. It starts faster and can run on systems without UI. |
| 18 Feb 2017 | 3.4.5 | This bugfix release brings improvements with handling lots of files. File tree expansion and filtering are significantly faster and consume less memory. Folders can be explicitly excluded or included. Importing from MusicBrainz and Discogs has been fixed. |
| 23 Dec 2016 | 3.4.4 | This bugfix release fixes the import of durations when importing from file or clipboard, and building with Chromaprint 1.4. New features include a portable mode storing the configuration file in the application folder, copying of images to the clipboard and an MPRIS D-Bus interface for the audio player on Linux. |
| 01 Nov 2016 | 3.4.3 | Tagging of WAV files is improved by supporting ID3v2.3.0 tags on WAV files and better interoperability with RIFF INFO tags by configuring the track field to be “ITRK” and the RIFF chunk to use a lowercase “id3 “ name. The latest iTunes tags for classical music are now supported. Bug fixes solve crashes with FLAC files and support for translated names and the 3rd tag in kid3-cli. |
| 24 Aug 2016 | 3.4.2 | This bugfix release fixes issues with copy pasting of tags with multiple frames of the same type (e.g. multiple artists) and deleting frames in kid3-cli. It adapts to changes of the web services used for fetching lyrics. Usability improvements include complex quick access frames like pictures and selection of the file list filter in the settings. |
| 24 Jun 2016 | 3.4.1 | This bugfix release fixes the wrong marking of ID3v2 Date frames as modified and makes it possible to directly add Date frames with ISO date/time values to files which do not yet have an ID3v2.4.0, M4A or Vorbis tag. For the Windows version, issues with incorrect relative paths in playlists, importing from Discogs and temporary files generated by id3lib were fixed. |
| 23 Apr 2016 | 3.4.0 | It is now possible to edit more than two tags, for example ID3v1, ID3v2 and APE tags of MP3 files or ID3v1, ID3v2 and Vorbis tags of FLAC files. Support for RIFF INFO chunks in WAV files has been added. Bug fixes include the editing of synchronized lyrics on Windows. |
| 10 Mar 2016 | 3.3.2 | This bugfix release adapts the import to changes of the Discogs service. It is now possible to set the encoding used for exported files and playlists. Third-party libraries have been fixed to solve random crashes on Windows and file corruptions when writing WAV files. |
| 04 Feb 2016 | 3.3.1-1 | Minor fix to find kid3qml plugin only for Windows, see bug #124. |
| 17 Dec 2015 | 3.3.1 | Package for Android, support GEOB frames in CLI. Improvements for high pixel density displays and handling read-only files.

More options to number tracks and marking oversized embedded album art. |
| 09 Nov 2014 | 3.1.2 | This bug fix release offers the possibility to change the permissions when trying to save read-only files. It fixes bugs like editing a frame for multiple files which do not all already have such a frame or the use of special characters in M4A files on Windows. The number of open file descriptors is reduced, which should solve problems when working with a huge number of files. The Discogs import has been updated to address the latest restrictions. |
| 24 Aug 2014 | 3.1.1 | This bug fix release fixes incorrect behavior when removing custom frames (COMM, PRIV, TXXX, free form), setting of POPM frames using kid3-cli, import of composer from MusicBrainz and other smaller issues, as well as platform-specific bugs such as kid3-cli output redirection on Windows, support for case-sensitive filesystems on OS X and drag’n’drop on OS X 10.10. |

Jaikoz Audio Tagger...The Jaikoz MP3 Tag Editor is a powerful yet simple to use tool that allows you to organize, edit and correct thousands of songs with ease. Jaikoz has powerful automation features designed to do the hard work for you. Jaikoz uses MusicBrainz, an online database of over 5 million songs. MusicBrainz is a community based database with contributions by over 200,000 people and its system of moderation ensures the data is extremely accurate. Many of these songs also have associated Acoustic Ids provided by MusicIP, allowing a song to be identified by the actual music, so it can do a match even if if you have no metadata
But no identification system is 100% accurate so we have made it as quick and easy as possible to edit your data manually as well. Jaikoz uses a convenient spreadsheet view to allow you to edit information very quickly and provides many autoformatting tasks which do most of the work for you. For example it compares your MP3s to each other and using this information it can correct missing information and spelling mistakes. Jaikoz can extract information from a filename into the tag without you having to specify the format for the filename, and can rename filenames and folders from your metadata in your chosen format.
Features:
Acoustic matching using MusicBrainz and MusicIP to match tracks based on the actual music
MetaData matching using MusicBrainz to match tracks from the metadata in your files
Intelligent AutoMatch compares different Audio files and finds field matches and then allows all similar fields to be formatted the same
Intelligent AutoFormat provides automatic capitalization, conversion of special words and removal of invalid and punctuation characters
Intelligent FileName to Tagger can extract information from the filename into the tag without having to know the format of the field
Rename filenames and folders from your metadata in your chosen format
AutoCorrect can be used to perform automatic formatting of your chosen columns in a single click
Provides full support of all text fields and easy tagging of large number of audio files
The innovative split screen spreadsheet view allows easy comparison of changes during editing
Automatically keeps v1 and v2 tags synchronised
Full Unicode support allow any character from any language to be used
Easy conversion of tags between version
Displays what is actually contained in the tag allowing the user full control
Jaikoz runs on Mac OS X (v10.4 and above), Windows and Linux
Jaikoz is Internationalized, currently supports English and Spanish
