MP3 Tag Editor

Fidelis

Does anyone recommend a particular MP3 tag editor, for mass tag editting?

Instead of going into Winamp's 'File Info' and editing information for each file individually, I'm looking for a way to edit a load in one go, e.g. mass edit a few hundred MP3 files to be listed as Pop or Rock category. That kind of thing.

I know of 4-MP3, MP3 Manager & Audio Tag but I'm interested in other people's experience of programs.

Cheers!

ehm, have you tried the library in winamp 2.91???
get all of your media in the library (click "library" in the bottom left & then "add to library")
now sort your music by genre, select the ones you want (shift+click is the best way)
then right click & choose "edit item(s) information"

CyberGhost

Mp3 Tag Tools
msTagger
TagScanner

any of these will be fine!

but why do you use tags? i usually delete tags, and sort files(mp3s) looks good in a folder, easier to find, and the name appears in Winamp the same as in folder

DaPyx mp3 explorer is good for this too, aswell as being a great music database.

because then you won't be able to arrange by track/year/genre/album...

and all of my mp3's ripped from albums are named <track> - <title>
it'd look rather pants if you stuck them in winamp without tags.

finding mp3's is much easier if you use winamps library search function as well

ahh, now that makes sence, well i sort them only by name, and i have batch file renamer so for me they don't matter, i use tag tools, to batch delete the tags

CyberGhost

btw, just in case someone will need to remove tags there is an application called ID3Kill, that does the job of removing all the tags, it's stand alone exe so doesn't need to be installed, pretty cool app!

Mp3/Tag Studio is the best I've seen.

I would advise that tags are always left intact. If you ever decide to buy something like the Creative Jukebox your life will be hell without tags. These gizmos work from the tags.

CyberGhost

yeah but you can always tag them after the file name later

i quite liked the Supertag feature in MusicMatch. you can highlight a load of tracks and change whatever info all at once. its not freeware though, so you're probably better off using one of the other progs mentioned.

Agreed. Thats the one I use. Tis excellent.

Yes but that only lets you play stuff by filename. I often use the jukebox to play by artist, album or, the odd time, genre. Delete the tags and you're banjaxed.

Why delete them anyway? Seems like a complete waste of time.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I use Winamp 2.78, I've found it to be the most reliable version to use, so I haven't seen this library function in v2.91 yet.

Cyberghost, I like to able to arrange tunes in various ways, also it's nice to have the info stored in the mp3.

I'm sorted now, thanks!
