Title: mp3 tag editor allowing "multiple values"
Post by: Setsunaaa on 2010-10-05 20:35:05
Select multiple mp3's in the list, hit alt-enter..

The fact that I can set the Artist, Alum + track number etc in one go for all selected mp3's is PERFECT ! I LOVE THAT !

Some lines show "multiple values", is there a way to create such a "multiple values" line manually?
It would allow editing all titles in one go, maybe a predefined tool which allows something like:
One line with everything, and an selectable or free definable field separator ( , : ; | etc..), the current way means i have to create a text file with one item per line or edit each file one by one.

If such a possibility does not exist yet it is a suggestion to add, making all other mp3 tag editors even more useless (from my point of view).

If such a possibility exists: How can I do it?

will double clicking on the Field name do what you want?

Going further with Terry's advice above, you can right-click and choose Edit too. This is particularly useful if you select both multiple files and multiple fields and then edit everything in one nice table.

Additionally, for the fields set under "Preferences > Advanced > Display/Properties dialog/Multivalue fields", you can just separate multiple values by a semicolon.
You know it's working if you write e.g. "foo;bar" into the "Artist name" row, then move the focus to some other element and it expands to "foo; bar" with a space.

Perfect answer. Thank you!

Something for the Wiki I would say.
