I know nothing about Tagscanner - I've never even heard of it before - but what you ask above isn't quite what Mp3tag is about. Mp3tag lets you edit tags. You can take information from file names and paths and insert it into embedded tag fields. You can reformat existing tags, or transfer tags from one field to another. You can do all these as mass operations on many files at once. It's very powerful... but to take full advantage of that power you have to understand things like variables and regular expressions. > Each album is in its own folder titled <Artist> - <Album Title> and each > track is a single flac (or mp3) file. Are these programmes able to use > the information that is already there or do they need to access the web? Yes, Mp3tag will happily use that file information. While it can retrieve tag info from places like amazon.com, that takes some manual intervention and isn't suitable for mass tagging operations. You should try it out and see if it does what you want. It's free, so there's nothing to lose but much to gain. http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ ------------------------------------ Posted by: Lin Sprague <[email protected]> ------------------------------------ Official Exact Audio Copy web site: http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ ------------------------------------ Yahoo Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EAC/ <*> Your email settings: Individual Email | Traditional <*> To change settings online go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EAC/join (Yahoo!
