I would like to batch remove id3v1 tags from mp3's stored on a network drive. I have a mixture of FLAC/MP4/MP3 files, some 15K music files in total. It is not practical more me to load then entire 15K library into mp3tag, and then subsequently filter out the mp3's. The networked drive is mapped t…

[image] rootee: Is it possible to open a top-level music folder, and have mp3tag only load the mp3's (or any particular file extension)? You can use the search feature in windows for only files with the extension mp3. Select all (Ctrl-A) then right click these and open with mp3tag. You will t…

Using mp3tag on macOS. I have yet to find a way to search for *.mp3 (or any extension based search) on a mapped network drive in macOS. The network drive is mapped to macOS via SMB (it's a Synology NAS, with SMB file service). I think my library is large enough, that I'd like to only find and loa…

[image] rootee: that I'd like to only find and load mp3's with id3v1 tags?? Someone has to look at each file and decide whether that is an mp3 or not. So you will never circumvent that problem of touching each file.

A solution at minimum needs to filter mp3's at the operating system level, yes. However, if the library is large enough, then loading say 10,000 MP3's all at once may not be practical, and that's why I was asking of the possibility of only loading mp3's into mp3tag that contain any id3v1 tags?

On macos 12.3.1, I've found that you can search a mapped network share (or any folder, indexed or not, local or on the network) with the spotlight search query "kind:mp3". From within Mp3tag, if I do File->Open, with search parameter of "kind:mp3" on the mapped network SMB share, then Activity Moni…

I can manually access the smb share via mp3tag. It however stalls when using the search query "kind:mp3".

I don't see a Libraries option for the macOS version. The Mac version feels like a very inferior version, which is interesting because it's the non-free version.
