hows this against the others? What does everyone else prefer?

I've tried many, and this is by far the best. Documentation lacks a bit, but if you look around the guides in the forum you'll see that this little program is very powerful. Wouldn't go back to any other ID3Tag editor.

I encourage everyone to download the beta, as many bugs from the last stable build were fixed. Roles are kinda reversed in this particular case

I agree with noroom. This can be as simple and as complex as you want it to be. I use it to tag my mp3's with album art, rename filenames/tracks. This thing is just a complete app imo. Highly recommended.

I used to use tag&rename, but this pretty much as powerful as tag&rename, the only thing I can see that t&r has over this is that t&r has lists of words to auto-replace, whereas you have to program commands to run in mp3tag. Which makes things in that respect take a bit longer. I'm not sure if that made sense.

Overall, mp3tag is an excellent program.

Isn't there a commercial software already called mp3tag? http://www.maniactools.com/soft/mp3tag/index.shtml I shall give this a go and see how it compares

Really, why? What does it do better than this app? I can't come up with anything.
