Hello,

I'm wondering if it is possible to run more than one copy of mp3tag at the same time and have multiple windows open.

The reason I ask is that it would be nice if on one window I can be editing tags for an album while on another window I could be searching all of my files tags. For example I may be editing an album where a track is a jazz standard and I wish to search all my files for that same track so I can just copy and paste the composer information into my editing window.

Is there perhaps a command line option that would allow this? Thanks!

This is currently not possible.

OK, thanks anyway. I found a way around it by using Foobar to search for tag information.

Will being able to open more than 1 mp3tag window be implemented?
