Any good software for batch/multiple mp3/ID tag editor?
 

Looking for a small/tiny app that would do batch/multiple mp3 tags editing, i.e., edit genere of 200 songs are all RnB? The one I am using is editing one at a time and wont do batch, Mp3 tag tools 1.2 build 008. Freeware or shareware or payware is fine. Windows/Linux is fine. TIA,

Have you tried a newer version of mp3tag? (Mp3tag v2.41)

If mp3tag does not do what you want (mass edit of tags) then the tag editor in Media Jukebox (Windows freeware) will, but it is big:

Of course, you can do this in iTunes too.

I remember the MP3 Tag&Rename utility from Windows doing an OK job (older versions did not support unicode/utf-8 and the newer ones would not support non-english CBCS).
On Mac there're the MP3Freaker and FileSheriff I think which can also do batch tag edit/rename.

I'm using this one:

my favourite;

You can use mp3Tag Pro (http://www.mymusictools.com/music_ma..._pro_26668.htm) that can easily organize a collection by creating new folders and sorting music files into them according to the pattern that you specify.

Re: Any good software for batch/multiple mp3/ID tag editor?
 

I highly recommend mp3Tag Pro. It can do this job very good. But this app works on Windows only.

FWIW, I use id3tag ( from id3lib ) with a wrapper ruby program, which uses the directory structure the mp3 file is in to make tag entries.



#!/usr/bin/ruby

Dir.glob("*.mp3") {|file|
pth = Dir.pwd
pthcmp = pth.split(pattern='/')

album = "\"" + pthcmp[pthcmp.length-1] + "\""
artist = "\"" + pthcmp[pthcmp.length-2] + "\""
title = "\"" + file.slice(2,file.length-7) + "\""
track = file.slice(0,2)

s = "id3tag -a " + artist + " -s " + title + " -A " + album + " -t " + track + " " + "\"" + file + "\""
printf("%s\n",s)
system(s)
}

I settled with Mp3 Tag Tools v1.2, dl here

Pro: it works on 8000+ tags and it is by donation,
Con: have not found any yet

To organize my mp3, I was using mp3stock here, click the picture to dl. It is the fastest I have ever seen upto 4999 songs, eye blinking fast. It is NOT very user friendly so one has to play with it for a few minutes to get it. Other than that, I recommend it wholeheartedly, and also it is by donation too.

By donation does not equal to FREE; by donation means the author wants some encourage from user that his stuff is good, usually at least a postcard or 1$ would make the author feel good

When you have 5001 songs, I switched to Advanced MP3 Catalog 3.36, here, it costs $19.99.

Pros: Simple, no learning at all, it is like excel, just install and use, and FAST. It also edit/delete songs from harddrive when you make changes on the database.
Cons: Not really one, but the purchase step is a little bit crumpsy.

I have tried JRiver's mediaJukebox8.0 and MediaCenter 12. They are both fine and loaded with features. That is exactly the problems for me it is way too many features and becomes slow and difficult to use. I think it is by far the most complete media catalog, but one has to learn to use it. Yuk.

Mind to share with the community what engine do you use to handle your mp3s? Again, I pay more attentions to Simple and Fast and excel like interface. Donations or paid are fine.

And yes, these are all windows, not maemos.

TIA,

Media Monkey is the best product out there and its free. Only one that I have found that tags the album art correctly. Windows only though

Re: Any good software for batch/multiple mp3/ID tag editor?
 

Does anyone know why my N900 shows the wrong tags? Seems to show album artist rather than song artist. So on all my complilation albums I just get Various Artists rather than the actual song artist. Finding it super annoying not being able to check who sang the song I am listening to.

Re: Any good software for batch/multiple mp3/ID tag editor?
 

@mikec: Media Monkey is FANTASTIC. I dl/install/start using almost instantly. And the interface is very informative. And it is FREE. It is probably the best fit for my purpose so far.

I still prefer Advance mp3 catalog, it allows one to delete/rename files on your hard drive.

@etuoyo: Cant offer anything. No N900 in hand :( . anybody wants to chim in?


Edit: Media Monkey ALSO manage hard drive too, i.e., you delete/rename both the library and computer. Good find, mikec!
