If you have file names that include artist, album, track number, etc., you might be better off using the File Name -> Tag method. (Auto tagging seems to work best if your files are organized by album.)Īnother factor to consider is your current file names. You have to compare the time it takes to prepare the list versus how long it would take to enter the tags manually or try to use auto tagging. Also, you benefit more if you have a lot of files to tag rather than a few. If you have to build the data source from scratch, you may be better off entering the tags manually. Obviously, this method is useful only if you have a data file or can obtain or prepare one relatively easily. MP3Tag offers several ways to import tags, the 'Text File -> Tag' feature being one of them. This post may seem long and too detailed, but if you have several thousand "loose" files (no album organization) as I and another poster had, then these steps may save you some time. I had to use earlier posts here and my own experimentation to determine how to make this feature work. The online Help files at this time simply do not provide enough details to use this feature. Also, I want to offer some suggestions I have found useful. This post is intended to summarize various other threads and my experience on the subject of creating MP3 tags from text files.
