Marcus, I'm aware of the many ways this could be done and have used many programs which provide such a feature. However, they all approach it a little differently.
I was curious if there were one or two you had in mind that solved this problem in a particular way. I realize my response wasn't so thoroughly stated; my Internet access was going down and I felt rushed to get the response posted. Thanks for the screenshot. That does give me some idea how you're envisioning such a feature. -- Jim On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 10:41 PM, Marcus Sundman <[email protected]> wrote: > On 27.07.2010 19:37, Jim Nelson wrote: > > On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 10:44 AM, Marcus Sundman <[email protected] > > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > > Um... pretty much all id3-tagging softwares (for mp3 files) support > > adding AND modifying tags of multiple files in a single UI.
