No, there is no differnece.
It's a menu. So, after you have ruled out FIle, Edit, View, Actions, Web Sources and Tools ... it's the only one left.

As there is no menu tags I think you have got a different program from MP3tag.
If you want to get help for MP3tag, you should visit the download page for this program ([Mp3tag - Download](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html)), install it and then come back.

The screenshot does not show MP3tag.
See [http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html) what MP3tag looks like.

Select all the files that should get the same treatment.
To enter one artist or one album name for a bunch of files ...
- select the files in the files list
- enter the artist name and the album name in the corresponding fields in the Tag Panel (on the left)
- press Ctrl-S or the disk symbol in the toolbar to save the modification.
Done.
I doubt that about the last question 😉

Maybe you have a different software product, ...
because here is the forum for the application ...
"Mp3tag" made by Florian Heidenreich, ...
it is not possible to purchase a copy of this application, ...
but you are allowed to donate.
