Mac "Live show tagger" equivalent?

(1/1)

detroit lightning:
Finally getting my feet under me w/ using a Mac for post production. Still a bit all over the place with my process...

Using foobar2000 & xact - is there a way to tag files automatically from a doc, like the live show tagger plugin for foobar on PC?

Or an entirely different / easy way of tagging on Mac?

As is I'm using
-izotope and audacity for editing/production
-audacity for track splits
-xact for Flac transfer
-xact & foobar for tagging

thx!

I dig xACT and have used it regularly for many years. Twenty?
But Audacity can export straight to FLAC, and can tag if you wish.
I do not ever use Audacity for tags because I only need them sometimes, and it's an extra step to skip when I'm doing simple renders. My preferred version of Audacity (2.4.2) lets you specify a preference of whether or not to open a Tag window for exports, and it gets in my way more often than not if I leave it on, so keep it turned off. 
I do export straight to FLAC from Audacity or Sound Forge (2015 Mac version!) most of the time now, and then I tag in xACT as usual!


and YES xACT will import track names from a text file once you open the special menu for auto-name, use command-shift L to open your fave info.txt file and have at it. It's got some quirks but you'll figure it out.

Awesome, I’ll give that a shot! Thanks!

I'll second running xACT. My most used program on my computer.

3rd'd for xACT. I use it for tagging and WAV > FLAC conversion
