Title: FLAC Multi Tagger (Windows/Mac)
Post by: Sebastian on July 27, 2007, 07:41:26 AM

Hi!

I finally got tired of manually tagging every track of my recordings individually, so I came up with this little program. You can just copy a tracklist into it and it will tag all your files automatically. It runs natively on Windows and Mac OS X.

All the details and downloads are here:

Please let me know what you think!

Works For me.  Is a wee bit slow in processing IMO.  But overall functionality is Great

+ Sebastian for your time in compiling this for our group.

I know. This is because the program writes all data to a new temporary file (adding the tag) and then copies all data back to the original file. In the future I plan on optimizing this. If the new set of tags is smaller or equal in size to the old tag it should be possible to just write them into the original file (very fast). If that's not possible, deleting the original file and moving the temporary file to its location should speed things up for sure.

I use flacify, it parses right from a text file, not manual entry required. it is a unix script, and runs under *nix shells on windows or mac.

I have just finished work on version 0.2 of the program. It now uses the libFLAC library, so it should be as fast as the original FLAC tools. I have also completely re-written the program and tried to avoid all the bugs that the last version had ;)

Hmmm, it doesn't appear to work in OS X 10.5 Leopard... any fix to come for this?

Sorry, I think this was because the FLAC library was still linked against the OGG library. I have corrected this and it should work now...
