Also, will this mass tag my library? I choose other sources and a box comes up for each. ---

When I select a source, this search box pops up. Do i need to do this for every track? I was hoping to mass tag my library. ![Screenshot 2022-04-04 143747](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/4/45629a5642cb3714a9789020dfd6e81bac79d0b7.png) ---

the biggest chunk that can be editted in 1 go is an album. ---

It really depends on how big your total library is, and what your personal preferences are as well for the genre tag. If for example you typically have one genre you define by artist, then you can simply filter for all tracks by that artist and tag them in one shot locally. Without using a web source. If this isn't ideal, you could consider at least doing it by album. If you are doing it this way you can either select all tracks from that album and manually enter the genre, or use the web source tool if you aren't sure. ---
