Hi all, I use Mp3tag since one or two years now. Since I discovered it, I really cannot use anything else as it is a really great software with impressive capabilities and possibilities to optimize metadata of tracks. It is by far the best metadata tweakign software. I may have two small suggestio…

You know that you can C&P all tags from 1 file or a selection of files to another section of files without using an additional seperate step of a text-file? Do you really want to embed large uncompressed picture formats like bmp to your music files? Anyway if possible I think you would get trouble…

[image] Marth286: ... It might be good to consider a direct action button (i.e., like add tags from a text file, add tag from another tag,...) as follows : Add tag from clipboard memory. It cna coem really handy when you sleect all the tracks of the song and copy them to the clipboard. That way …

[image] Marth286: If you do that on windows it works. And i never meant to change the file contents: a picture stays a picture after all. It's just all my albums scans are in .bmp so I just change the filetype from jpeg to bmp for "conformism" stake. It is just an OCD habit there is no point mor…

[image] Marth286: If you do that on windows it (renaming the extension and getting a different file type - ohrenkino)works. No, it does not. And I mean that you get a different file contents. If you rename a bmp to txt and attempt to load that file into the editor, you see the bits and bytes …

[image] poster: You are right: There is no point in that creating files with incorrect suffixes and it is completely senseless. My question again: Do you really want to embed large uncompressed picture formats like bmp to your music files? [image] ohrenkino: No, it does not. And I mean …
