I don’t know if there is any missing function , but I can’t copy and paste the metadata. I need to export data and reapply because when I bulk edit songs in Audacity it applies the author name and album photo of the first to the other songs.
You can to this in MP3tag like this:
- Select the picture and copy it to clipboard.
- Select all the files that should get the same data
- Enter the "author name" in the tag panel and press Ctrl-S
- Paste the picture from the clipboard into the picture area of the tag panel and press Ctrl-S to save the modification.
As soon as you feel confident enough, you can save all modifications in 1 go and press Ctrl-S after you have set and/or modified all the information. It is not necessary to save every modification individually.
No man. The problem is with audacity that applies the artist name and album picture of the first song to every other song if I edit them in bulk/group and not individually , whereas I want to retain the metadata of each individual file .
What MP3tag could do is to copy and paste the metadata of each file regardless whether it has missing or inconsistent data like year, album, ect.
What kind of work do you want to do in Audacity? Do you want wo work on the audio-part?
Mp3tag can copy & paste metadata from 1 or a group of files to the other in one go.
So if you make a backup of your files and work with the files of this backup in Audacity, you can later load both - the originals and the backup files - and arrange them in the same order. Then you mark the oroginals and press CTRL-C to copy the tags to the clipboard, mark the backup files and press CTRL-V, to paste the tags from the clipboard.
