Drop an .mp3 and OmniViewer reads its ID3
tags straight in the browser — title, artist, album, album artist,
year, genre, track and disc numbers, comments and embedded cover art. Edit
any field and download a re-tagged copy; the audio frames are copied
through untouched, so only the tag changes. There is no upload and no
server, and it works on a file of any size because the tag lives at the
front of the file.
OmniViewer speaks both ID3v2 (the modern, Unicode-capable tag most players write) and legacy ID3v1, and shows the raw frames so you can see exactly what a player will read. Need to inspect the audio itself? The same drop gives you a player, a stats read-out, and byte-exact raw and hex views.
It’s one lens on OmniViewer’s MP3 File Viewer — Inspect MP3 Audio Locally: drop a file and every tab is one click away. OmniViewer opens every file format, entirely in your browser — no upload, no server.
No. OmniViewer is a static page with no server-side processing: your MP3 is read directly by your browser and never leaves your computer.
MP3 (MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer III) is a compressed audio format. The file is a sequence of independent audio frames, each starting with a sync header, usually preceded by an ID3 tag block holding the title, artist, album and cover art.
That is the ID3v2 tag block: metadata (title, artist, album, artwork) stored before the audio frames. In the hex view you can see exactly how large it is and where the audio data begins.
OmniViewer identifies the format from the content — the ID3 header or the MPEG frame sync bytes — not from the file extension, so a renamed or mislabelled file is detected for what it actually is.
Effectively unlimited. OmniViewer only reads the bytes needed to paint the screen; the engine behind it has been tested in-browser with a 40 GB file.
Yes. The METADATA tab reads the ID3v2 tag and lets you edit the title, artist, album, year and more, then download a re-tagged copy — the audio is never re-encoded, so it stays lossless. Playback with playlists is still rolling out; everything stays local either way.
Yes. The MP3 generator at /s/mp3/generator builds a valid, silent MP3 of any size up to 2 GB — you pick the MPEG version, the sample rate and the ID3 tags — and streams it straight to disk without uploading anything. A "Smallest possible" button emits the tiniest valid MP3: a single tag-less frame.
