When I manage musics and tags, I use Mp3tag, foobar and Total Commander. About 10 times quicker to add a folder to Mp3tag from TC through a context menu (shell, right click menu), than in Mp3tag, using "Add folder". Unfortunately, adding a folder through **shell can only replace** open folders in Mp3tag, **instead of adding them to the end** of list.

I'd like to enjoy the "Add to the list in Mp3tag" context menu, too. Anybody else for?

There is a button in the toolbar to add (not replace) a folder. It's that folder icon with the plus.  
If you want to add individual files or a number of folders to the current list, then use drag&drop an press the Ctrl-key at the same time. This keeps the current list and adds the dragged and dropped objects.

**Great! Thank you.**

EDIT, LATER  
By the way, the Ctrl-key solution works with right-click menu too, not only with drag-and-drop.
