Hi everyone, Please bear with me - I'm new at this though I've been doing a lot of reading up, still very confused.
I'm trying to learn how to use mp3tag to rename and tag some flac files. It's taken forever thus far, me copying and pasting each individual song but I know theres gotta be an easier way. I know mp3 files are different than FLAC files but as far as tagging goes - I am a certified idiot. Reading IDE, VO, V1, V2, vorbis, I'm out of my league at this point..but trying to learn. So a few questions if you could spare a minute as none of my friends are able to help and all the tutorials I've read are above my level. 1) Is mp3tag the best tool to use? 2)I have some flac files that right now read as: CD Track 01.flac CD Track 02.flac CD Track 03.flac etc...-> CD Track 27.flac I have a list of the tunes, is there an easier way than manually renaming the FILENAMES of the 27 files in the folder (at least I think I mean filenames and not tag here)? I also want to rename the tag, but first things first right (or is it all the same thing) so that will be number 2? 3) Tags are different from filenames right, as they are what show up in Itunes data etc. Can anyone help me to understand the easy way to group-tag an entire batch of files. For ex, with Mp3tag I am able to see the filenames (CD track 01, etc) and thats it, there isn't any other data. I don't want to manually copy / paste the group name or album...but I can't figure out the proper way to go about it. I read the help file for mp3tag and know that I can highlight a group of songs, but as soon as I start to type in the left side of screen (say album for ex) I don't know what to do next to make all tracks have that as a label. Everyone says 'Mp3tag is great', so easy...and maybe with another example it would be (say if I had songs with tags that just needed to be rearranged maybe) but what about when you have to start from scratch? Am I just screwed, the "tag-filename", "filename-filename" & "textfile-tag" are obviously supposed to help somehow but I sure don't know. For ex, say that I do manually enter the filename (track # then song title), and want to have those transferred to the tag, how would I go about doing that? Or should I just have the tag only be artist & album and not include that other info (since the track and title are already included in the filename)? HELP PLEASE : ( I apologize for my ignorance, all I can say is I've put this off for a long time and now I'm trying to learn from anyone who will help. -- leisuresuitlarry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leisuresuitlarry's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24941 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60253 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
