Topic: bulk vorbis tagger

[Brian Skalinder]

Anyone have a bulk tagger they like that will write vorbis tags to my FLAC files sourced from studio CDs?

I'm looking for something that will look up the tag data at freedb / cddb and write the tags for an entire batch of studio tracks.  Foobar2000 will do it for individual albums, but I can't get it to work across multiple albums ("CD not found in database" or some such).

Media Rage rocks for the Mac.

For automated ripping, flacing and tagging, you can use abcde on the mac or a 'nix system.

Tag & Rename.  Its the only tagger I will use anymore, period!

I like EnTagged

it gets the job done and it works for every file type available.  plus you can create little scripts (using their interface) to batch tag.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.  Looks like none of the taggers listed will submit multiple "albums" to freedb at the same time, or batch them, or queue them - at least not that I could find.  I must submit each album individually.  A bit surprisingly, I'm able to do so faster and easier with Foobar than any of the tagger apps I've tried so far.  So I guess at this point, after one final search online, it's time to slog through submitting each and every studio release individually to freedb.  No problem, submitting 400 albums individually won't be tedious or anything...  :ugh:

Next time have EAC read the discs (with freedb access) and have the FLAC frontend automatically guess tags from filename. I've been able to get band, album, track name, and track number that way.

I had EAC read the discs with freedb access to capture band, album, song title, track # in the filename.  But I didn't use FLAC FrontEnd to convert - I used dbpoweramp b/c I find it's easier for logging and viewing errors than FFE.  I've tried a couple apps that guess the tags from the filename, with no luck.  I used an underscore as the delimiter between fields, but unfortunately in a throwback moment I set EAC to replace all spaces/special characters with underscores.  Oops.  No easy delimiter to use, now, for guessing tag info from the filename!  Eh...at this point, I'll probably just skip it all and use the filenames instead of tags.  Not as easy a read in Foobar, but it'll do the trick for the time being.  And I'm using the dir names / filenames when playing back through the Squeezebox, anyway.
