AudioShell - MS Windows Explorer Shell Extension
Review by on
The SoftPointer Inc-developed AudioShell is a Microsoft Windows Explorer shell extension plug-in that serves a very specific purpose: it allows you view and edit ID3 metadata tags from within Windows Explorer, the built-in file manager that Microsoft included in every Windows version since Windows 95.

Speaking of Windows versions, there is something you need to know right away. According to SoftPointer Inc., AudioShell is designed for Windows 2000 or Windows XP 32-bit systems. So if you are on Vista or Windows 7, you are out of luck.

But if you are on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you can get this shell extension and view and edit ID3 metadata tags from within Windows Explorer. AudioShell provides support for MP3, WMA, ASF, WMV, M4A, M4B, MP4, OGG, and other formats. You can use AudioShell to edit ID3 tags file by file or in groups.

If you think the functionality AudioShell has to offer is something you need, then there are a few technical details you need to know about before you get this shell extension and put it to the test. The technical details presented below:

Download – the download weighs in at 1.1MB, which is good news. It means that, even if you have to contend with a less than spectacular internet connection, it will only take a moment to get AudioShell off the web and onto your computer. I don’t know about you, but I don’t particularly like when a download takes forever to complete.
Supported OS – as mentioned above, AudioShell is designed for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Limitations – since AudioShell is freeware, you can use it free of charge for as long as you want. So no, there are no limitations.

Pros
  • Lightweight download
  • Numerous audio formats are supported
  • View and edit ID3 metadata tags from within Windows Explorer
  • Freeware

Cons
  • Designed for Windows 2000 and/or Windows XP (32-bit systems)
