Hey guys! I know it is an unsuitable thing from me to ask this but - How FLAC tags really works? The question may be silly but here's why I ask: It's few years since I had ripped my CD to MP3, and I suppose I know almost all about MP3 tag (thanks to people from this forum too) but now I want to ri…

yes boxes in the tag options for mp3 are NOT relevant. These are options for mp3 files. For FLAC tags there is no option. All correctly done FLAC files use "Vorbis Comments" tags. And mp3tag will use these only for FLAC (i.e., handles properly automatically). If you are reripping your files to FL…

[image] daniel.ok: MP3tag can fully edit FLAC tags (like to mp3 ... ID3v1, ID3v2, and so on ...) Yes. There are no settings in Mp3tag for FLAC tags. There is only one type of tag (vorbis comments) to read and write. Not much. FLAC tags are simple. To get an idea of how files are tagged, …

JJ Johnson: To get an idea of how files are tagged, it can be helpful to use metaflac to examine the tags of a few FLAC files. Totally agree with this. It's very useful to see exactly what Mp3tag is changing. I created this batch file to do just that, but it only works if metaflac.exe and th…

Thanks for the suggestion! However, I still can't figure out how to get the behavior I want from folder dropping. :frowning: I'm afraid I'm not very good with batch scripts, haha! For example, if I have C:\FLACS\Fish (1999) Raingods With Zippos, and I drag-and-drop the folder Fish (1999) Raingods …

Then place metaflac.bat on the desktop. Or edit the shortcut properties and leave "Start in" blank.

[image] dano: edit the shortcut properties and leave "Start in" blank. That did it! I knew it was something simple. This actually makes my original script work. Thanks so much. :sunglasses:

Personally, I'd create an Explorer context menu item rather than relying on dragging and dropping. Much easier and quicker to use.
