maybe this is already possible with foo\_run, but could you create a simple fb2k component to open selected tracks with mp3tag from fb2k's context menu? 
Thanks, florian.

It's of course possible with [foo\_run](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/fb2k.html). Simply use "%\_path%" as parameter to the path to Mp3tag.exe to open the selected file with Mp3tag.
Kind regards,
Florian

Thanks. Got it to once I enclosed everything in quotes.
And it works for one file, but is there some way to open multiple tracks in mp3tag from a multiple-file selection?

Increase the value of "Simultaneous runs"

Awesome. Thank you.

i don't understand
can you pleas give the full string which I have to type in (at foobar \> preferences \> Tools \> Run Services)
thank you in advance
EDIT:
have found solution myself here: [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=567539](http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=45223&view=findpost&p=567539)
```
Label: Mp3tag '('dir')'
Path: "C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" "/fp:$substr(%_path%,0,$strrchr(%_path%,'\'))"
Label: Mp3tag '('file')'
Path: "C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" "/fn:%_path%"
```
The problem was that I forgot the quotes around the Mp3tag path. Seems as this is not necessary for all systems because most other string examples I found are without quotes around the application path.
Simple
```
"C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" "%_path%"
```
works also. But I don't know what /fn: stands for, so I kept it to avoid future complications.

THX pone... the same "problem" occured with my configuration of foo\_run. Now it works!

Hi,
just in case someone faces the same problem I had under Windows 8.x:
You must enter the path to the start menu link instead of the path to the exe.
In my case the correct path is
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.lnk"

The problem that it does not work with "C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe".
