Hare Krishna.
Can I open more than one instance of the program?
I have two folders containing 1000 and 1500 files respectively and I have to compare and change the tags manually. I mp3tag cell interface allows to easily modify a tag and thus is very helpful. But when only one instance can be opened then I can use is only for one folder while in other folder I have to change through windows interface.
Thankyou,
damodara das

No you can't.
See e.g. this thread from 2005:
[/t/1720/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/1720/1)
and there are many more that describe how you e.g. load 2 different folders at the same time so that a side by side comparison is not necessary, on the contrary: filtering and sorting is probably just as good.
PS: User "damodara das", it would be quite nice if you could reply to the answers in this forum.
