How come MJ doesn't let you batch all of your tag updates and commit them at once, like Dr. Tag?  Since even under the best circumstances (e.g. using a relatively quick tag editor; NOT MJ!) editing ID3 tags is slow, it makes sense to treat this in a batch fashion.

And the changes definitely need to be done in a different thread.

Umm, no.  Simultaneous updates are not the same thing as batch updates.  

Oh wait.  I see.  Once you get them into that little dialogue, THEN you can make changes to the properties on INDIVIDUAL files, and it won't commit them until you click "Save."

I guess that works, but it's still not that good.  I have to add the files into the little list manually (or make sure I selected ALL the files I was gonna update before I clicked "Properties").  It would be nice if it just queued up the changes no matter where you make the change.

Ah...but wait!  I can drag-and-drop from my ML into the little window.  The Propeties dialog isn't modal.  That'll do it!
