# Editing tags

Tags store various metadata about the song. You can read about the most common tags [here](https://karedi.gitbook.io/karedi/next-level/txt-file-format/tags).

The list of currently defined tags with their values can be viewed in the [tags editor](https://karedi.gitbook.io/karedi/user-interface/upper-components/tags-editor).&#x20;

Tag editor lets you [add ](https://karedi.gitbook.io/karedi/user-interface/upper-components/tags-editor#adding-a-new-tag)and [edit ](https://karedi.gitbook.io/karedi/user-interface/upper-components/tags-editor#editing-tag-value)any tags - both standard and custom ones. All standard tags' values are validated. Instead of using tag editor, you can also edit tags from the main menu as described below.

## Adding & editing tags via menu

{% hint style="info" %}
Standard tags like artist, title, filename tags, bpm, gap, start, end & medley tags can also be edited via dedicated menu options in more convenient way. See the subpages for more info.
{% endhint %}

You can set value of any tag by going to the menu *Tags* -> *Add new\...*

You can choose a standard tag from the suggestions:

or add a completely custom tag:

Once you confirm, you will see your new tag in the tags editor:

Each tag can be defined only once. If the tag already exists, its value will be updated.&#x20;

If you open the *Add new\...* tag popup again and add CUSTOM tag with some new value, you will see that indeed the value got updated:
