I shoulda read the instructions better, but instead, I delved into my whole music library, cleaning up all the tags in all kinds of ways. Then I couldn't figure out how to rewrite the whole mess back to my library. It seems one can clean up a tag, like genre, then select all the songs in one genre and save them without changing anything else. Then move on to the next genre, and the next ... But I can't find a way to just write the whole mess back at one time.

Any hints?

Thanks,

What's that supposed to mean?

By that I mean, to save all tag changes for every song in the library in one operation.

Normally when you are done with the tag changes of a file you press Ctrl+S or click ![:mt_save:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/9a524114a0a7cfb94ed95e08e42778afb83a895f.png ":mt\_save:") to apply the changes to the file.  
But it's still unclear what you mean with "library". The audio files or their display in another program?
