Updating ID3 Tags [MP3] - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

keyshawn · 04-17-2005, 05:22 AM

hey,

I was wondering, I've noticed a lot of my mp3's don't have ID3 tags on them at all - is there an easy way which can 'batch' all of them and write them at once; instead of manually typing them in ?
I'd figure there's some script/program that could at least do it..

thanks,
keyshawn

If you're running Windows XP, there's an ID3 editor built right into Windows Explorer. Go to the directory and view as "Details". You can right-click the column headers to add or remove ID3 tags from the details that are displayed. Then you can select all, right-click and hit "properties". Choose the "Summary" tag, and hit the "Advanced" button. You'll have all the ID3 tags displayed, and any change to them will update all the selected mp3 files.
