We have standardized the creation of our radio station's digital music library operation using Windows PCs with metadata stored as a "database" in the Vorbis comments container of each file. The content of our digital music library is based on FLAC files that are tagged using Mp3tag installed on num…

Wouldn't it be much easier to test that in your environment as you have the required setup? I doubt that anyone else has the configuration that your team uses. And from an outside look I would say that this won't work, even if the files are binary compatible, as at least file paths would be totall…

Can the Windows version(s) of Mp3tag be installed on a Mac running in an environment resembling Windows? It's late at night here and I don't have time to go into details right away, but I'm under the impression that there are ways to simulate a Windows environment on Mac hardware. "Parallels" comes …

I would think that configuring "parallels" is just as complicated as setting up a master configuration in a pure Mac environment. If you allow the luxury of two environments, the price is the duplication of the effort, I would say. So your administrator would now have to maintain two configuration…

I’m afraid the differences between PC and Mac range from virtually similar to widely different. That is the nature of the beast when dealing with two completely different platforms. The common factor here at least is the goal to use mp3tag to update these FLAC files. Since all platforms use the sam…

I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions. I've succumbed to the notion that the only way to do what I want is to purchase a Mac desktop setup and do as you and others have suggested. What are the minimum specifications for a decent iMac? Operating system, RAM, Vintage, etc.. I'm not interest…

Ah. yes. I now see where to get it. Are updates for Mp3tag For Mac as frequent as they are for the PC version, and are the updates free beyond the initial purchase price? If our Mac-inclined users are to participate in our digital library creation project, they will ask me about ongoing costs.
