203211 2003-12-26 08:44:00 I would love to be able to find a program that can easily show the ID3V2 tag of all the files in a folder in a table/spreadsheet format.

I use an old version of Abyss Audio which shows me the ID2 tags.

But I need one that shows (and preferably allows you to edit easily in a table format the ID3V2 tags.)

Please note thta I do not want to know the names of programs that support or show the ID3V2 tags, but ones that allow to to see them and edit them all in table/spreadsheet format.

Thanks and Happy New Year and I suggest you all try Foobar for playing your MP3's - its great.

203212 2003-12-26 11:33:00 I would take a good hard look at foobar if I was you. It can display ID3V2 if you install that option (from the special installer) and with masstagger you can easily tag multiple files at once. Using foo_freedb (special installer) you can also easily tag complete albums from data held at the freedb. -=JM=- (16)

I am using Foobar, I will try that option.

But I find that foobar is hard to understand with all the options and no help, I suppose I will just have to try them all.

Its got great sound don't you think ?

203214 2003-12-26 20:35:00 I had such a program installed myself a couple of months ago but now that it has been removed I can't remember which one it was. :-(

It might have been MSGTAG145.exe or TagScan but I am not sure. Personally I gave up on it and used Foobar's Masstagger instead to strip out all the tags and redo them from the file names. Metla suggested a program in this thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) recently but I have not tried it myself.

It can be a little daunting but you can find some good tips and info on the Foobar forums (www.hydrogenaudio.org). There is also a basic FAQ section (www.foobar2000.org) at Foobar's website as well. 		Susan B (19)
203215 2003-12-26 21:24:00 Thanks Susan for those two suggestions .

I know what you mean about mass tagger .

But I find that sometimes there is information in the tag already thjat I would not want to override automatically .

I like to do it Manually so I have complete control .

I will also check out Mp3TagStudio -I have an old version of it, but it is very overwhelming with lots and lots of options .

Thanks for your suggestion of checking out the Foobar FAQ and web site

203216 2003-12-26 23:21:00 Abander TagControl 2 (www.softartstudio.com)

Pretty much perfect control. Its pay for, however there is a fairly luxurious trial period. If your like me & decided to tidy up the collection, I found its batch editing features allowed me to retag & rename 7000+ mp3's ogg's flac's & more with minimal input in a few hours. (as long as you take the tme to learn the advanced features, altho the wizards are pretty potent) 		flying_green_leprachaun (1767)

Yes, But does it have a spreadsheet / database style format ?

I do not want to mass tag.

203218 2003-12-27 04:52:00 If you have not already figured it out MSGTAG145 . exe is not what you are looking for . Sorry, I just did a search in my downloads folder for "tag" and thought that looked likely . :8}

MP3 Tag Clinic (http://www . kevesoft . com/) is probably the one you want:

MP3 Tag Clinic's unique spreadsheet-like design maximizes the methods available for editing tags . While placed in full fiew and editable field-by-field individually, they are also made available to a wide range of auto-editing tools and features that are as close as your mouse .

I am fairly certain that is the one I liked the best out of the ones I tried before using Masstagger . It is shareware however, with a 30-day trial (from memory) . 		Susan B (19)
203219 2003-12-28 00:52:00 Thanks Susan.

I'll try that one sounds great !
