When you're ready, press the red "X" icon to delete the tags. Test it on a few files to be sure! You may also want to carry this out on 1000 files at a time. If you see any ID3 v1 OR v2 tags in a FLAC file you want to get rid of them, which is covered below in "Deleting ID3v1 Tags".įirst make sure you have saved all tag data as ID3v2 tags and Mp3tag is configured to remove ID3v1 tags but keep ID3v2 tags, see above. Even if the Current Tag column already shows an ID3v2 tag, with the ID3v1 tag present, you won't know whether the data came from the ID3v1 tag or the ID3v2 tag - this way you know for sure. If the main screen's left hand pane is filled out already and you don't need to make changes but the Current Tag column (see above) indicates that an ID3v1 tag is present, press the Save icon to save this data to an ID3v2 tag. If you are using FLAC then Mp3Tag will write data to Vorbis comments rather than ID3 tags, which will be listed as FLAC tags in the Tag column. You can enter tags from scratch or correct existing ones, and as soon as you press the Save icon, this data will be written to ID3v2 tags. The ID3v2.-1 radio button works well for characters from several languages but you may want to use one of the UTF options if your language uses these character sets. This will ensure ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags are read, only ID3v2 tags get written and ID3v1 tags get removed. Go to Tools - Options - Tags - Mpeg and set the options like this: There is no need to configure Mp3Tag for FLAC, but if you are using Mp3: This is accomplished by using a value of %_tag_read% for the single column. Newer versions combine All Tags and Tag Type into one column. If you have analyzed your files with MP3Gain they will also have APEv2 tags in them. A file can have both types, which may confuse SlimServer. Note SlimServer prefers ID3v2 tags, and keep in mind that ID3v1 tags have a 30-character limit. Mp3tag will now have a new column displaying all tag types present in the file. the tag type used to display the information in the left pane.įollow a similar procedure to the above, but name the column "Tags In File" or something similar and type "%_tag%" in the value field. Mp3tag will now have a new column displaying the active tag type, i.e. In the "Value" field, type in "%_tag_read%" as shown in the image above.
In the "Name" field, type in "Current Tag" or whatever you like. Right-click on a column heading on the right and choose "Customize columns.".Ĭlick on the "New configuration" icon, which looks like this: Newer versions have a Tag column by default, but if you're using an older version: find all tracks with "Concerto" in the Title. You can then specify a Field and a string and it will filter just the tracks that match - e.g. Look for the Filter pane at the bottom of the screen - if its not there press F3 to turn it on. If you want to perform an operation on a set of files that isn't neatly selected by choosing a directory, or sorting, there is a very powerful Filter feature available which makes it practicable to work with the entire library.
To select a continuous list, select the first file, then hold SHIFT and select the last one. will be sorted and grouped together at the top or bottom of the list.Īfter sorting and grouping the files you want to change, you can select a list one-at-a-time by holding CTRL as you click on the files. This can be very powerful when used with many files as files which are untagged, files which have tag types different than others, etc. You will see a small "up" chevron to indicate an ascending sort, and a small "down" chevron to indicate a descending sort.
