Tag Inspector for multiple files?

[zord_majka]

Hey again,

would it be possible to enable Tag Inspector for multiple files? My problem is that I have some albums left with wrong tags from applications I used to use before (tags like volume, lyrics, ...). So it would be nice to delete these tags from multiple files.

Thanks!

I wanted to post exactly the same request. It would make cleaning up tags per album a lot easier as not all possible tags are covered by the tag editor.

It's on the Musicbee 2.1 topic... but it hasn't been updated. I know Steven has said that this would be a major undertaking. But +1 on this (frankly long overdue) request.

Great. Where is this topic? I tried search but couldn't find a topic related to version 2.1

If you just want to clean up unused tags, instead of using the editor you can try Tools > Tagging Tools > Remove Tags.
Not sure if it will show every tag, but it should have more than the Editor shows.

I always assumed there was a reason this wasn't possible.

This is done now for the next 2.1 update. It also now allows editing of the lyricist tag in the Lyrics tab when editing multiple files.

this has the new functionality:

Woohoo!!!!! This is great! Thanks so much for this feature

[Steven]

although i have tested it and there shouldnt be any issues, make sure you start with a small number of files you have backed up

Just something I've noticed: For MP3 files, if the tag is a TXXX, you can't delete the value while inspecting multiple files.

trying now its working fine for me so can you reconfirm and if you think its still not working give a set of steps and maybe a before and after screenshot

1. Go to an album > right click > edit:


2. Click on Tag Inspector:


3. Select one of the TXXX files:


4. Press the minus button:


5. Click save:


6. Click on Tag Inspector:



Even if I close out of MB and head back to the file, it still doesn't work. Also, I noticed it doesn't seem to work on anything that has a / in the Tag Code (so TXXX/Release type, USLT/eng, etc.). At least for me anyway.

its not handling the mixed case on the TXXX/ name - thats fixed for the next update
