Can you put this function in future version of program.

Update mp3 tags based on online checking Gracenote MusicID (audio recognition, audio fingerprint) like Winamp 5.5 auto-tagger function powered by Gracenote, but with more advanced options :

- mass set tags e.g. ONLY set <genre> and/or <year> and/or <tracknum> and/or ...
- mass set tags with <album> ONLY if mp3 file does not have this tag
- mass set tags with all other tags ONLY if mp3 file does not have this tag

... because Gracenote MusicID service is not 100% precise but sometimes very very useful tool

See Winamp Auto Tagger screenshots ...

I have to agree with you Adrijan.

To quote from the main page:  "The complete suite for managing your Mp3:s! You will never again need to keep track of that bunch of small utils to solve your mp3 problems and general managing, this is an all-in-one program and also better and easier to use than practically every separate util that you will ever find! Well, you be the judge. "

Years ago I bought a copy of the program because I liked some of its features.  At the time I had to use other programs to download album information; with the fair expectation that MP3TagStudio would catch up with the rest of the pack.  I'm rather disappointed in that I still have to use other utilities in conjunction with this.

If I was currently in the market for an all-in-one mp3 utility I'm afraid MP3TagStudio wouldn't warrant a second look, it's too dated.

Don't get me wrong, it does what it does very well; just needs to be expanded.  ie CDDB support and handling of other music formats.

btw. the Yahoo mailing list hasn't been notifying of updates.

I'll have to second (third?) this suggestion. This would be a really useful feature for getting all those "year"-tags right. Year-tags are the most common ones that are missing from files copied from friends. All other info is usually correct, or retrieveable from folder or file names.

I have to agree that Gracenote database is not perfect, and I personally would not trust it for tagging artist, title or album, but the year-tag is different. To most people it is not very critical information, but a "nice to have", and a close guess is better than no information at all.

Currently my personal work flow is:
1. Copy some new albums from friends
2. Make a duplicate of the copied set
3. Retrieve tag info with Winamp Auto-Tagger to the duplicate
4. Create tags to original with mp3ts based on file/folder names
5. Run a little self-made utility that simply copies the year-tag from the duplicate set to the original set in each corresponding file.
