As I am done ripping all my albums it is not a big issue really. BTW the bug you talked about doesn't seam to happen for me!? My column setup seams to be saved...

Don't know if you are familiar with Mp3tag but I am curious to here from people who do in regards to the question: does MC provide all the tag management and editing that Mp3tag does?

Suddenly also my setup is saved. Before reporting the problem as a bug in the release thread I did all kinds of tests and each time the ripping view was reset to the default when I came back from another view. I really don't know what is going on.

These two programs are based on a different philosophy. MC is a database based program. It stores everything in its database. It can store file metadata and statistics even if the file format does not support tags, including videos, pictures and documents. Mp3tag is a specialized audio file tagger that supports only physical file tags.

As audio file taggers these two programs have a bit different features, but both are excellent taggers. I use mainly MC, but sometimes also Mp3tag for special operations. I have posted a few replies in which I explain how Mp3tag can be used for specific tag conversions in addition to MCs built-in tagger.

So what view is prefered for tagging purposes? I mean, I am familiar with "presets", which are cool but what are they compared with a "view"? I guess the best would be a single section/pane view that looks like a straight forward Mp3tag list without any grouping etc. but it seams like MC allways have a top an a buttom section or? I am a little lost with the various options I most say.

rosie:
Ok, I guess I found out that a "preset" is just a combination of collums whereas a "view" is much more. When creating a custom view (which can be saved in a prefered location on the disk) a preset can be used. So what is the listing to the left under Audio (Artist/Album, Disc Location etc.)?

I would still like to hear about the best view to "replace" Mp3tag (I guess I need to learn how to use Expression Columns using the Expression Editor...)
