Mp3 Tag editor to edit Artist and Title from file name?

Zascar · 09-09-2019 02:29PM #1

I have a bunch of mp3's which are mostly named correctly in the filename, but they are missing the Artist and title in the tags.

They are house and techno so not from albums as such - not intersted in that at all. I just need a software that can Automatically take the Artist and track title from the filename, and add them into the id3 tags.

I've tried Mp3Tag - it allowes me to do it manually of course but not automatically. Mostly the lookup services don't work as these are not top40 albums its mostly underground electronic music etc.

Does anyone know a softare that can do this please?

TagScanner is something I've used before. Not quite how you intend to. Just throwing it out as an option to look over. It was generally very highly recommended a few years back on the HTPC scene.

Otherwise, Music BrainZ Picard is meant to allow for some automaition as far as I know.But I think that could be focused on Scraping data. Never really looked into checking out what it'll do, when I had issues with it's main feature "Acoustic Signature" not working out too well at times.

Mp3tag can do this. Select Convert from the menu, then "Filename - Tag". You just specify the format that the filename is in

Wow, flashbacks to Mp3tag usage - its been a while. I still have a configuration saved in my Drive that stripped all the redundant information away and changed all the case to Sentence except for the track title, so useful - Spotify has won be over now.

For getting the correct artist file, you need to use Filename - Tag and follow the pattern of said filename (hopefully it's the same for all). For instance:

A filename of Artist-Album-SongTitle.2015.Dance.mp3
Your Filename - Tag code would be %artist%-%album%-%title%.%year%.%genre%
