Does anyone know whether MusicBee allows bulk tagging of music files? I would like to be able to select a large number of tracks and apply the same value to a given tag (e.g. conductor, composer). I can do this in iTunes (it stupidly calls music tracks 'songs'). I have now ditched iTunes in favour of MusicBee, but cannot find a way of bulk tagging. This is particularly important for classical music as the downloaded tags are frequently wrong and need to be corrected.

The "Tools" menu gives you some bulk edit choices.
The Additional Tagging Tools plugin contains a plethora of options.
You can mass also select multiple files and edit using the tag editor.

And if you need to add a tag without disturbing the existing tags in that field, you can use the Tag inspector:
