What is a .ID3TAG file?

An .ID3TAG file is a kind of temporary file that gets made when you use a free software called MP3 Skype Recorder. This software is pretty handy because it lets you record your Skype calls on a computer that runs Windows. The .ID3TAG file holds information about the Skype call you recorded, but it's not the actual recording. Once your call is successfully recorded, this file gets deleted because its job is done.

Now, when everything goes smoothly, your recorded Skype conversation is saved as an .MP3 file, which you can listen to anytime. But sometimes, things don't go as planned. If your computer stops working right in the middle of a recording, or if the MP3 Skype Recorder software suddenly crashes or has some other problem, the recording stops, and you won't get the .MP3 file. Instead, you're left with this .ID3TAG file.

Unfortunately, this .ID3TAG file doesn't have the audio of your conversation. It's more like a placeholder that shows a recording was happening but didn't finish properly. So, you can't really do anything with it, like listen to your conversation.

It's important to know that this issue with the .ID3TAG file not turning into an .MP3 file happened more often with an older version of MP3 Skype Recorder, specifically version 4.18 and before. The good news is that the people who make the software said they fixed this problem starting with version 4.19.

One last thing to remember is that even though the MP3 Skype Recorder software creates the .ID3TAG file, it can't open it. So, if you see an .ID3TAG file on your computer, it's basically telling you that a recording attempt was made, but for some reason, it didn't finish, and you won't be able to listen to that call.
