Title: MP3 Tagging Software
Post by: smOOzz on January 31, 2010, 01:07:09 am

Anyone aware of some tagging software that will work and conform to what MC14 expects to find in certain fields?   

The MC14 tag system seems to be OK most of the time but have had problems with a few albums now that I'm endeavouring to correct some file issues that should have been done initially some years ago.

I find it easier now to check the tagging setup within each album and corect any errors or ommisions before importing that album into MC.

Thank you muchly.  Will try that.   Found TagRename first and will give them both a run.

Alternatively, you can use another MC library for fixing the tags. You create a new library with Library Manager and import to that library first.

If you want to use an external tagger I'd recommend Mp3tag (www.mp3tag.de/en). It can correctly handle the user and proprietary tags that were created with old MC and MJ versions (prior MC13). Those tags are stored in ID3V2.3 COMM frames with descriptive headers. Many other programs support only a single COMM frame (= the regular Comment field) and may destroy any additional COMM frames. Unless Tag&Rename has changed recently it can't handle those.
