Music Editor: tags for big audio files

You grabbed a concert recording or a long mix, and your player shows it as "track_final_2" with no artist and no cover. Most tag editing bots will refuse the file because it is too big. Music Editor was made for exactly that. 🎧

It edits tags on audio files between 20 and 150 MB and converts videos up to 250 MB into audio. Around 10,000 people use it each month.

Why 20 MB is the magic number

Telegram limits what bots can do through the standard bot interface: a bot can download files of 20 MB at most. That is why many simple tag editors give up on long recordings.

Music Editor gets past that ceiling and accepts files up to 150 MB for tagging. Its developers run a small family of bots, and this one handles the heavy files. Short songs work fine elsewhere, but podcasts, live sets, audiobooks and DJ mixes are where it earns its place. 📦

Tags, and why broken ones are annoying

Tags are metadata stored inside an audio file. Your player reads them to show the track title, artist, album, year and cover art. Without them a file is just a random string lost in your library.

• A tidy library. Tracks group into albums and sort by artist.
• Nice previews in Telegram. Send the file to a chat and people see a proper title and cover.
• Easy search. Find a recording by name instead of by download date.

From video to audio file

The second feature suits anyone who listens to lectures, interviews or gigs without needing the picture. Send a video of up to 250 MB and the bot returns the soundtrack as a separate file. 🎬➡️🎵

You can tag that file right away with the speaker, topic and date. A webinar recording turns into a neat episode for your commute.

Default tags save you typing

The /dt command opens default tag settings. If you regularly upload episodes of one podcast or tracks by one artist, fill in the shared fields once and skip retyping them for every file.

Switch the interface language with /language and find usage tips under /help. If something gets stuck, /start takes you back to the main menu. 🔁

Quick walkthrough

1. Send /start and pick your language.
2. Upload a file: audio up to 150 MB or video up to 250 MB.
3. Fill in the tags the bot asks for, such as title, artist and album.
4. Grab the finished file and forward it to a chat or keep it in Saved Messages.

Tip: check the file size before uploading something big. If a recording is over the limit, split it into parts in any audio editor and tag each part as its own track. Numbering the parts in the title keeps them in the right order in your player.
