Hello,

I'd like to interest you with my MB2mp3tag application. It's not web source script; it's command line application, which creates text file with tags' data gathered from MusicBrainz.

Here are downloadable files: [https://github.com/PawelTrela/My-projects/tree/master/AudioTaggerWithMusicBrainz/executables](https://github.com/PawelTrela/My-projects/tree/master/AudioTaggerWithMusicBrainz/executables)

And here is short user guide: [https://github.com/PawelTrela/My-projects/wiki/MB2mp3tag](https://github.com/PawelTrela/My-projects/wiki/MB2mp3tag)

My application is especially useful for tagging classical music, because it downloads certain details about the composer (lifespan, country), the date of composition of the work, the performers together with the instrument (piano, violin, cello, orchestra, etc.), the date of recording. Calculates a unique link to each track that leads to this particular track in the MusicBrainz database.

Here's some sample output:

I would like to improve my program by downloading more tags (e.g. artistsort). For artists I would like to download the best name (for example, not Даниил Трифонов, but Daniil Trifonov).

If you have any suggestions, let me know.

With kindest regards,

Pawel Trela

Looks great. But on some reason I can't see any content after starting mb2mp3tag.exe even by launching in cmd. The program shows up for a second's part and closes down before I can see something. Thus I can't control or change anything. I even can't find the text file which should have been created by the program.  
In short: I really need help.  
Btw: I read your howto, the execution in cmd runs here by prompting "start" instead of "run".

Hmm, it's weird... Look, please, at the command line screenshots I gave. There is no "run" command before MB2mp3tag.exe. When you run command prompt (cmd.exe), you should change working directory to that one with **MB2mp3tag.exe** file, typing for example:

`cd c:\My downloaded files\`

and then type:

`MB2mp3tag.exe`

Doing so should trigger a program reaction - displaying a short instruction manual on the screen.
