I have a number of CDs that I ripped and tagged with MP3Tag. Something went wrong with a conversion so they are now no longer lossless. I ripped the same CDs again but now would like to transfer the tags from the old tracks to the new ones. Can this be done easily? If so, how?

Yes. You can load the ones with the correct tags, select all and copy the tags via Ctrl+C. Then open the ones without tags, select all and paste the tags via Ctrl+V.

Not in the same way, however you can use the converter "Tag - Filename" to rename the files based on the copied metadata.

Renaming files, creating folders and complete directory structures from tags can be done by using the [:mt\_ttf:] Converter \> Tag - Filename with a format string. A format string is used to describe the structure of the desired filename. Besides using normal placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, ...) and arbitrary text (e.g., Music) it also allows for separating folders with the backslash \ character. Here is an example that renames the file based on the t…
