First to answer your question, Yes iTunes and Mp3tag work perfectly together but use mp3tag as your Editor and not iTunes. And don't use them both to edit the same files at the same time. Let iTunes control the Paths and Directories only, don't do this with Mp3tag
I use iTunes mainly as player and for syncing my iPods. I only use iTunes seldom to edit my tags, because Mp3tag is way way better.
After editing an audio file in Mp3tag, make sure that you do Right Click - Get Info in iTunes for iTunes to read the updated tag info.
Some Simple Steps
- in iTunes select the audio file you want to edit Right Click and Select Show in Windows Explorer
- In Explorer, select the audio file and Right Click and select Mp3tag
- After editing the Tags in Mp3tag close Mp3tag (or leave it open) (Make sure you don't move the Music File, this you have to let iTunes do)
- Switch Back to iTunes
- In iTunes, Right Click - Get Info or iTunes to read the updated tag info into its database
And btw 680 songs on 60 CD's, what is the reading on the bottom of the screen, it should read something like xxxx items xx days and xx GB
When you delete songs from within iTunes, do you delete them to the Recycle Bin, or do you keep Original File ????
Maybe you should run the script from this post first as it will "refresh" all information in your itunes library. getting Itunes to recognize edited tags?
