Batch transfer tags to media files on Mac via MPL file created on Windows?
MrC:
Good to hear.
--- Quote ---I think you said the MPL import operation writes the new tags into the media files, not just the MC Library database. So I don't have to run "Update file tags from Library" now. That's terrific--please confirm.
--- End quote ---
The import updates the Library (MC's database). Tags are opportunistically written out to files as per your auto-import settings for those files, and the Update Tags When File Info Changes setting. Or you can manually write them out via Update Tags (from library).
--- Quote ---I note that MC MPL seems to create the "Filename" field by combing the album name and the actual filename...
--- End quote ---
No, the Filename field is entirely a function of the file's path, as discovered when the file was imported into the Library.
couchjr:
OK, thanks. For safety, then, I think when I import an MPL I'll select all the albums and run the "Update tags from Library" command just to be sure.
Of course you're right about the MPL fillename path. Album name is the folder name as created by SACD-Extract. Duh. My apologies for transient idiocy.
Your help is invaluable. Much obliged.

I have a f/u question to my query above about transferring metadata in my MC library about an SACD ISO to the corresponding DSF files. What about transferring the metadata about an SACD ISO from one MC library to another MC library on another computer, with the 'same' SACD ISOs but stored on a different drive? Is that any different, or would I still need to manually change the path for each ISO in the MPL file?
MrC:
jlyness, that's correct. The Filename component is the key component, so for the second library, update Filename in the MPL to match the files on the second system.
jlyness:
Thanks, but sounds like I'd have to do that individually for every single file I'm updating? It would be quicker to just re-enter the meta-data (especially if/when you enable copy/paste metadata for the mac version of MC).
