I have some audio files in one folder, so I drag them into the window. I have some other audio files I also want in the same window so I can copy/paste their tags easily. That's not possible, because if I do that it clears out the window first.

Mp3tag for Mac v1.10 adds a new option to change drag-and-drop behaviour so files are added to the File List by default (available from Settings → File List → Drag & Drop). In addition, holding ⌥ while dragging toggles between Add and Replace .

See the documentation about how to add files to an existing set of files: [image] Basics and Overview Documentation Mp3tag for Mac has two main window components: the Tag Panel on the left the File List where the files are listed Tag Panel The Tag Panel show…

That's the hope I have as it would make an immense productivity improvement for me.

Any updates to this? It’s definitely a request other people want as well, as shown here for example: List songs from a folder with & without songs from subfolders - #10 by ohrenkino

[image] godzfire: It’s definitely a request other people want as well, as shown here for example TBH I only see a query for the principal function to add files via drag&drop (which is already there) in the linked thread but not for a specific implementation.

Maybe I misinterpreted what he was wanting. Nonetheless, how could I go about putting in a request to have at least the functionality I posted about here added, since I haven’t seen a developer comment on this.

Your request has been noted, I can assure you. Still, it is not the custom to comment on every suggestion. You have to see what the time brings.
