Although the streaming music has gained a lot of strength in the last few years, there are few people that still prefer to listen to your MP3 files stored in the memory of the mobile. The problem is that, depending on the source of these, may be missing information such as album, artists, collaborators, and the year of publication or cover.

That information can be added manually with some applications, but which we will know today does this automatically. It is AutomaTag and, in a few words, is able to find all the tags that are missing to the songs and apply them.
