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.

What's New

I've just released Mp3tag v3.35 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes.

File-related Configuration Options

I've added a new Options → Files dialog that groups together file-related configuration options. It also includes a new option Replace folder separator in tag values that lets you specify the replacement character (or no character at all) used when renaming files from tag values. This prevents unintended creation of directories. Of course, it's still possible to use the folder separator for intended creation of directory structures when renaming files, e.g., via Convert → Tag - Filename.

Improvements to Toolbar Configuration

The toolbar configuration now also supports items that serve as spacers between individual buttons. They can be combined with separators to arrange the toolbar items according to individual preferences. The Filter can now also be docked to the left or right of toolbars.

Improvements to Discogs and MusicBrainz Tag Sources

This release includes updates for the built-in Discogs and MusicBrainz tag sources with improved handling of lookups for Various Artists releases and album artists, along with other minor changes and fixes.

Support for RF64 WAV files

WAV files larger than 4 GB can use the RF64 format, a multichannel audio file format that supports sizes greater than 4 GB. This release adds support for RF64 WAV files.

Bugfixes and Internal Changes

As always, this new version also includes bug fixes and many other improvements. For example, I spent some time experimenting with Mp3tag under Linux via Wine, so that renaming folders using _DIRECTORY at Convert → Tag - Tag or the action Format value is now also possible under Wine. If you're curious, the changelog has the complete list.
