Looks interesting, although I think that (based on the screenshots) MP3Tag is a bit geekier. It looks like a nicer UI though. One of the most valuable features (to me) of MP3Tag is that it allows me to use a Tag->Filename string like: d:\incoming\$replace($replace($replace($replace(%artist%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','')\$replace($replace($replace($replace(%album%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','')$if($isdigit(%DISC%),\Disc %DISC%$iflonger(%DISCTITLE%,0,(%DISCTITLE%),),)\$replace($replace($replace($replace(%artist%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','') - $replace($replace($replace($replace(%album%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','') - $num(%track%,2) - $replace($replace($replace($replace(%title%,/,-),&,+),':',','),?,) This lets me replace illegal characters with the character of my choice in each case, and also end up with directory structures that vary depending on whether the disc is a multi-disc set. For example: D:\incoming\Bill Hicks\Egham\Disc 1\Bill Hicks - Egham - 01 - Fascists 1 Humans Nothing.mp3 Also, being able to use regular expressions in actions on tags is invaluable. Even for simple stuff like removing numbers from the front of filenames - I've yet to hit a limit on it.
