Automatic saving customized columns

Support
1

Hello,

I’m a bit a newbie in this community, but I will do my best.

I’m using mp3tag3.25 – W7 – Musicmatch10 with Mp3 files.
I’m using for my tagging some specific MM10 fields like “Mood” or “Situation”

So I created some customized columns like:
Name= Mood / Value=%_vbr% %_bitrate% / Field=%comment musicmatch_mood%

The values are calculated perfectly on the file screen.
My problem is that these values can only be saved to my files, when I click every individual value.

Is there a way to save the whole bunch, without confirming every single tag?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hans

You can add/customize the same Fields to the Tag Panel on the left side.
Then you can select multiple files in the File List and enter your values for this selected tracks in the Tag Panel Fields.
Then you can save them all together with one click on the Save button (or press Ctrl + S or click on the menu File -> Save tag).

You can use the converter Tag-> Tag or an action of the type "Format Values".
Mark all your files:

Convert Tag->Tag
Field: COMMENT MUSICMATCH_MOOD
Format string: %_vbr% %_bitrate%

Thanks for your quick reply,
My problem is that with this solution, the whole operation is manual, I don't think that I can use the scripting functions.

Thanks Poster,

This solution works, I tried but I putted:
%comment musicmatch_mood%
instead of
comment musicmatch_mood

Do you know if there's any way to do it directly by the column-values?

Do you use the Convert Tag -> Tag like this?

This will add the custom Tag COMMENT MUSICMATCH_MOOD to your metadata:

In the above example with the automatically combined text
CBR (from %_vbr%)
and the number
320 (from %_bitrate%)

As told to Poster, I putted the % around the field name, it was not working.
Now it's working great, thanks a lot.
Would be nice, if in the tag-Panel you could use directly the calculated value, if, not this is a good workaround!

It would not call this a workaround, it is the simpliest and most effective way to solve your problem. Why should someone want to work on thousands of files in the columns, if he can get the solution just with 1 converter task?

You're surely right, I did the wrong action.
It was just that the export results and the metadatas were not the same as on the screen!

You have to know:
Your column definition does not save %_vbr% %_bitrate% to the defined field. This definition is only for showing the calculated values in your column.
So your statement

is wrong. These values are never saved to your files the way you wanted it to do.

Yes, my problem was that I didn't realize this when I was working with MP3Tag!
Never too old to learn! Thanks again
