Hello,
I'm tagging some 250 tracks and using the iTunes source (.src). All tracks are different artist/album. After I've tagged one track I'd like it to automatically go to the next.
I'm having to go to select track, tag sources, iTunes, find track, tag, OK, do you want to keep existing covers, no, then select track again.
Any advice?

In "options" I have the automatically select next file box checked yet when I hit ctrl+S to save or click save it doesn't go to the next file. I've tried this in versions 2.39 and 2.44.

I'm really tired of using ctrl commands to go to the next f…

> Hi, I've just installed the 2.45a mp3 tag version but I have a problem. I've just select the "automatic select next track" option in mp3tag general option but it doesn't work. I have always to select the next track manually. Before installing this version I had the 2.41 version and there were no problem. Can you solve it please or let me know I can activate this option? Thanks a lot
Perhaps Ctrl-N would be an idea.

Thanks for the prompt response. I guess it's not possible so in that case I'll make a coffee and get started. It's only 250 tracks one time then will do any further tracks as and when I get them.
