Getting Started入门

Download mp3tag v2.41下载mp3tag v2.41 for free here, 为免费在这里, and install it on your PC.并安装在您的PC上。 Its XP and Vista compatible.其XP和Vista的兼容。 I’m going to illustrate how to complete and correct metadata for several album tracks that I purchased online.我要说明如何完整和正确的中继数张专辑的轨道,我到网上。 I need the cover art, genre and the correct names of six album tracks I purchased online.我需要封面,流派和正确的姓名,六张专辑路轨我购买了线上。

After you’ve installed the application, you can peruse the default settings within the Tools – options menu.之后,您已安装的应用,您可以细读默认设置内部的工具-选项菜单。 For now, leave these as they are.现在,离开这些,因为他们。 What you’ll want to do is use the directory navigation to open a music directory that you want to work on.什么您想要做的就是使用目录导航打开音乐目录您想要的工作。

The application will open all nested subdirectories, so if for instance all your music is in a directory labeled ‘iTunes’ you can just open that directory.该应用程序将打开所有嵌套子目录,因此,如果举例来说,您所有的音乐是在一个目录标示'的iTunes '你可以只需打开该目录中。 Warning – if you do this it is going to take mp3tag a while to scan all the files and metadata.警告-如果你这样做是要采取m p3tag,而扫描所有的文件和元数据。 So you may want to navigate down to the artist or album.因此您可能会想要浏览到艺术家或唱片。 In the example I will use, I navigate down to thealbum that I want to fill in data for:在示例中,我会使用,我浏览下来,以thealbum我想,以填补在数据为:

Mp3tag gives me a window showing all tracks within the selected directory. mp3tag给我一个窗口,显示所有轨道内选定的目录中。

I select all my album tracks.我选择我所有的专辑轨道。 You can use the normal Windows key combinations to select subsets.您可以使用正常的Windows键的组合来选择子。 The window is divided into two panels.窗口分为两个小组。 In the right-panel, you see the existing metadata.在右边的面板,您会看到现有的元数据。 You can see that my metadata is incomplete for Genre.您可以看到我的元数据是不完整的为体裁。 Four tracks have a null value and two have ‘Pop’.四路轨有一个空值和两个'流行' 。 I want to change all to Disco.我想改变一切,以迪斯科。

The left-panel can be thought of as the ‘control’ panel – it shows the values that you want to update into the tags for selected files.左面板可以被看作是'控制'小组-它表明的价值观,你要更新到标签为选定的文件。 You can see in the example that mp3tag understands that for the selected tracks the metadata for the Album, Year, and Artist are consistent.你可以看到,在举例说, mp3tag了解到,为选定的跟踪中继专辑,年份,和艺术家都是一致的。 It defaults the control panel to keep the existing values.它默认控制面板,以保持现有的价值观。 The literal <keep> is used whenever multiple values currently exist in the selected fileset.字面<keep>是用来每当多个值目前存在的在选定的档案。 Otheroptions are to type in a single new literal value to replace all the existing values for the tag, or use the <blank> literal to remove the metadata. otheroptions是类型在一个单一的新字面价值,以取代现行的所有值为标记,或使用<空白>的字面删除元数据。

So for instance in my tag for Genre I can use <keep> and the hodge-podge in my current audio files of empty tag or ‘Pop’ will be retained.因此,例如在我的标记为体裁,我可以使用<keep>和Hodge的- podge在我目前的音频文件,空标记或'流行'将予以保留。 Or I could type in ‘Disco’ in the Genre field and set all the instances of the tag in the selected files to ‘Disco.’ So that’s what I will do.或者我可以键入在'的士' ,在体裁领域和设置的所有实例的标记,在选定的文件'的士' ,使的是什么,我会做的。 But first I will access an external source to help clean up track titles, check all other tags, and try to obtain cover art.但首先我会获得外部来源,以协助清理轨道标题,检查其他所有标记,并尝试获得封面。

Updating from external sources更新从外部来源

A powerful feature of mp3tag is its ability to pull in metadata from outside sources.一个强大的特点, mp3tag是它能够拉在中继从外部来源。 So, as I start to make my adjustments the first thing I do is to access either Freedb (which is configurable) or Amazon.因此,正如我开始作出调整,我的第一件事,我是来存取要么freedb (这是可配置)或亚马逊。 I use Amazon in this example, and mp3tag pulls the following options for me:我使用亚马逊在这个例子中,和mp3tag拉动下列选项为我:
