Hi, So, using your setup, import the folder group that you wish to modify the tags on. Thus, these will be the only ones with the missing album/artist info. If you sort things by the Date Added, then you'll have easy access to the newest imports. Then you can select those newest items, cmd-i to Get Info on them and make the necessary changes. If the Date Added column is not available to you in your Songs table, press cmd-j to bring up the View options, navigate through them and check the box for showing Date Added. Now, with the Date Added column present, interact with the Music table, press VO-shift-back slash to bring focus to the headers, and press VO-space on the Date Added header. Pressing it a second time will toggle sort direction between ascending and descending. I like it descending so that the newest items are at the top. You can then select them and modify the tags as you wish.

So when I paste these into iTunes, they end up in a group of blanks with just the song titles. So trying to grab a group of them from an alphabetical list does not work. They are in separate folders in my original collection of music files, so I do know what artist and album names they are supposed to have — it’s just that none of these ever got properly tagged. So even though I can use the info dialog in iTunes to work on changing songs that are already grouped or single songs, I do need an app to do this from the folder/file list in Finder.
