Tagging FLAC?
« on: April 27, 2008, 02:41:58 AM »
Is there an app folks are using to easily tag FLAC files? I searched and found the live show tagger for Foobar, but the link doesnt seem to work anymore. Also found a FLAC multi tagger, but it wont install properly. All these are from older topics, I wondered if there is anything more up to date.

Suggestions?

I like using the command line metaflac.exe that is included with the official release of FLAC.
actually, I have an excel file that I enter the tag info that I want, and its set up to create a batch file that works with metaflac.exe
So all I have to do is enter the info into excel, copy and paste into the batch file, and then run it.
get in touch if you are interested, I can send you my excel file.

thanks Gordon! This is the one I really wanted to begin with. Could you please elaborate a little more on this text file thing? Is there a particular format it needs to be in? Do you just make sure its in the same directory as the FLAC's? How the hell does it know what is what from the text file, they seem to all be formatted a little different depending on who types them out...

Thanks so much!

try and keep the textfiles neat and organized.  you may have to change a few things here and there but here is a example

now here is a screen shot of live show tagger.  drag all files into foobar > select all > right > click > tagger > live show tagger



another of it maximized and then one of the final result.  sometimes if there is another textfile in the folder (ffp or shntool) it will try and grab the info from those instead.  easiest thing to do is copy it and then delete while you tag and then put it back.

+T, been looking for something like this.  I have been a dbpoweramp guys for quite a while but using it can be a bit of a pain in the ass.  This text file stuff is my dream come true (if it is as easy as it looks!)!

I prefer Tag&Rename, but that looks kinda cool. I don't typically tag my stuff anyways. Laziness.

I sure wish everyone would take the time to make a good text file (and follow some sort of semi-standardized format), and then tag your files.

It makes it much easier to keep things organized, and I use my computer to playback the majority of my music. It sure is nice to see the names of the songs, or to find a particular song in a set.

It's pretty damn easy, especially with the Live Show Tagger.

I don't normally tag FLACs, but here is a great program I use for MP3s, and it works equally well for FLAC, WMA, AAC, APE, etc.

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

It also converts filenames to tags and vice-versa, and will load tags from a text file. 

Excellent tool, I use it a LOT.

The Live Show Tagger can be pretty picky sometimes.   I use Tag & Rename generally with the Live Show Tagger to help.

Lots and lots of Dead text files are so scattered that foobar can't make any sense of any of many of them.

I could go on all day long about txt files, but it does no good. I just edit them myself after downloading to my liking...which is the best.  ;D

Tag & Rename is nice.

The new Metadata Editor in Easy CD-DA Extractor is kick ass.  Open one window with your text file, the other with The Program Highlight the first track and field you want to edit.  A simple enter processes the data then jumps to the same field in the next track, has been a lifesaver as far as getting me off the mouse and alt keys!
Yes, but what do you HEAR?
