I am OK with manual steps > but don't want to mess with my Musicbrainz tags.There are essentially three > ways to do this: 1) edit puddletag's genre listing to ensure it meets your needs load your library, sort by artist/ album, mark all tracks relating to the artist/ genre you're wanting to add and use the Tag Panel to add the Genre from the Genre listing (or just type one in). When done, hit the Save icon in the toolbar to write your changes. Method 2) follows the same logic but you can make use of the Extended Tags dialogue instead. 3) The 3rd (and likely most appealing) method is to make use of masstagging. Firstly ensure that the tag source you're wanting to make use of is configured to behave the way you want i.e. only add Genre metadata. This is accessed through Windows/ Mass Tagging. Configuration settings are shown in the attached screenshot. Load and select all tracks from albums you're wanting to add Genre information to and click on the Start button in the Masstagging window. When it's done puddletag will format all tracks it proposes to change in bold. If the genre column is in view you'll be able to see and/or edit the proposed changes. Similarly, you can highlight files you're interested in editing, right click and enter Extended Tags view. If you're not wanting to write changes to all files puddletag has highlighted, select the tracks you want to ignore and hit Ctrl-Shift-F <-- this will deselect them and abandon their proposed changes. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Screenshot.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10651| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- audiomuze '*puddletag: A tag editor for Linux (that happens to run on OS X)*' (http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79733 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
