With EasyTAG you can only edit tags of any audio file manually, however you can use Multi ID3 Tag Editor to automatically fill the missing tags of any audio file.

View And Edit Tags of Audio Files With EasyTAG:

EasyTAG software helps in viewing and editing tags of Audio file for Windows and Linux based PCs. Currently, it doesn’t work for Mac OS based PCs.

On running the software its interface opens with all the audio files in default Music folder of the PC. However you can also browse audio files from any other folder. The interface has three sections: Directory Tree on the left, all audio files from the selected folder in the middle, and all ID3 tags are shown on the right section. This section on the right shows all the tags; this is where you can edit the tags. After editing always remember to click on Save Changes To Selected Files in the tool bar. You just need to drag and drop an image in the image section of ID3 tags, for adding image to the audio file. easytag

I was unable to change the tags of an ogg file, unluckily it didn’t worked for me, but you can always try yourself, who knows it might work. Changing tags worked fine for me for other file formats.

The following tools are present in tool bar of the EasyTAG.
