Mass-change metadata to tracks

Post by andrerotgans »

Hi Bernd,

Is there a way to mass-change metadata (tag) to songs ? What I would like to do is change the mood (or other fields) of a couple of songs in one action to one common value. Ie. a couple of songs all have the 'slow' mood.

Kind regards,

andré

Sure, either use the Metadata Editor (which supports direct tag editing of all selected tracks).
Or from within ProppFrexx:
- open a new playlist window
- add all related tracks to it
- make sure the column you want to edit is available in your playlist view
- else use the Column Chooser to add the column (e.g. Mood)
- then press 'Ctrl+A' to select all tracks
- go to the 'Meta Data' tab in the ribbon and click on the 'Direct TAG Editing' button
- now you can directly edit the cell value within your playlist
- any change applies to all the selected rows
- e.g. edit the Mood cell value of on row and press 'Enter' when done
- now all rows are changed accordingly
- click on the 'Direct TAG Editing' button again to disable the edit function
- all changes are now saved to the TAG data of the audio file
