Hello,
I have a lot of albums files with partial metadata (album and title always) saved, I usually update them with musicbrainz but unfortunately I have to search them one album at the time.
Would it be possible somehow automatically select the album tracks, a kind of partial CTRL+A, to speed up the process ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
MM

No, this is not possible with Mp3tag.
I would not recommend this workflow, as it will result in a high number of incorrectly assigned metadata.
There is currently no known process that can automagically find the album with the 100% perfect match and also the correct sort order in your local tracks.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'll give it a try:
With [Mp3tag v3.31f](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455), you can select all files from an album and from the next album.
First, sort the File List by Track#, then by Album to bring the files in the correct order.
Next, select the first file and use **Edit → Select similar files** or press CtrlG to select all files of the album. Process them via Tag Sources.
To select the files of the next album use **Edit → Select next similar files** or press CtrlShiftG. Process them via Tag Sources. ♾
