Argh. But you don’t tell me HOW to make M3Tag change the Genre — I have 336 podcasts, and I want to put the same genre on every single one. I added the genre title I want to the Genre dropdown and I try selecting all the files (or a single file) and clicking to that genre title – and nothing happens. I can’t figure out how to actually make the program add the genre title. What’s the magic word to make the program actually change the entries?

I will have to check this out! Sounds like it would be a great tool for me.

Have you tried Iriver’s application called “Plus 3″? It will identify all of your MP3′s using technology from All Media Guide and re-tag completely. I tested it on about 1500 files yesterday and it worked very well. It takes a second or two per file to recognize, and then it organizes the files into albums if you prefer. Highly recommended.

Hi Pete

I am looking for a tool for a specific task, maybe having used mp3tag you can tell me if it’s suitable.

iTunes added an Album Artist tag a while back so that you could browse through your Artists without the ‘pollution’ of potentially hundreds of artists who appear in compilations (DJ’s feat. etc. on dance compilations being a particular problem). The problem is the field is empty on nearly all of my music library and I want to somehow batch process it all to, by default, set Album Artist = Artist, and then manually change the compilations so that Album Artist = various. People have suggested applescript on the mac, but do you know of any tool that could do it in Windows? mp3tag have the ability to set one field = to the contents of another?

Thanks for any help.

Yeah, I’ve been tagging my MP3s and tagging my photos! I have way more photos than MP3s and it’s impossible to find anything unless you add meta tags to all your pictures too.
