Extract text from Skype recorder temp files (ID3TAG)
To convert ID3TAG temp files to another format, you need MP3 Skype Recorder or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Temporary Metadata File" file type, you need software like MP3 Skype Recorder or a similar tool.
The .id3tag file is a temporary data file created by MP3 Skype Recorder, a call recording utility developed by Alexander Nikiforov. It is designed to temporarily store call metadata - such as timestamps, participant names, and call duration - while a VoIP call is actively being recorded.
This is a proprietary, temporary file format. Users typically encounter these files when they are left behind after the software crashes or is unexpectedly interrupted before it can compile the final MP3 audio file. The primary disadvantage of the .id3tag format is that it is often mistaken for an audio file. It contains absolutely no audio data, making it completely useless in standard media players. It requires the original software to process it into a final state.
Because it lacks audio streams, converting an .id3tag file to audio formats like MP3 or WAV is impossible. Standard online converters fail to process it because it is not a standard media container or a standard ID3 tag, but rather a raw, temporary data dump used exclusively by one specific application. If you need to salvage the data, the best target formats are text-based options like TXT or JSON to recover the call logs.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is an undocumented cache file. Emphasize that often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ID3TAG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ID3TAG converter.
