Mp3tag is a powerful and yet easy-to-use tool to edit metadata (ID3, Vorbis Comments and APE) of common audio formats. It can rename files based on the tag information, replace characters or words from tags and filenames, import/export tag information, create playlists and more. The program supports online freedb database lookups for selected files, allowing you to automatically gather proper tag information for select files or CDs.

What's New

I've just released Mp3tag v3.24 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes:

Playlist Generator

The Playlist Generator is available via File → Generate Playlists... or Ctrl+Shift+P and enables the creation of several playlists at once based on a format string that is used to partition the set of selected files. This way, you can create, e.g., one playlist for each album or one for each directory. It's quite powerful! And it's also available as an action 1 for Mp3tag's action groups.

Improvements for action Remove Duplicate Fields

I've extended the Remove Duplicate Fields action 1 to allow for selecting the duplicate field to remove (before it removed all duplicate fields) and to allow for removing only duplicate fields that have the same content.

Optimization of Padding for FLAC Files

For people who are using FLAC, I've added Utils → Optimize FLAC to the right-click context menu which ensures that 4KB of padding exists in the file. It's especially helpful if metadata isn't displayed in Windows Explorer, because either the embedded cover or the embedded padding is too big to handle.
