I want to add a few comments in the comments field of id3tags and it would be nice to be able to seperate them properly. any ideas? Back to top

Klintan Board Newbie Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: Mar. 2007 Posted: Mar. 23 2007,22:27 You CAN copy a newline in notepad. However the seperator fileld do not accept multiline. So my copy_tab idea will not work. Another Idea I got for this is to type something uniqe in the seperator field and then with a decent editor do a search and replace. Search for your unique string and replace it with a newline. Back to top

Search for your unique string and replace it with a newline. Problem is how do u select or copy a newline? I've tried that in Word but when it replaces with a new line u jump onto the next line which takes it to tag of the next file. Is there some special symbol for newline but which stays on the same line? With notepad and wordpad it doesn't work either. which editor would u suggest? Back to top

kazim Board Newbie Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: Mar. 2007 Posted: Mar. 26 2007,23:26 Ok here's what I wrote in my custom list: name.mp3 ;  test1 [NEWLINE] test2 NEWLINE test3 with the setting: <Target file> ; <Comment> and here's what i get in my id3tag for name.mp3 test1 [NEWLINE] test2 NEWLINE test3 what am i doing wrong?

Magnus Brading Almighty Author Group: Super Administrators Posts: 2751 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: April 02 2007,23:55 The [NEWLINE] field only works for lists, I thought you were talking about those, sorry. In the mass set and browse tools you can add newlines directly into the comment text box (by either pressing return or shift+return I think, don't remember which off the top of my head). -------------- Software author and website owner Back to top

kazim Board Newbie Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: Mar. 2007 Posted: Sep. 11 2007,16:35 sorry for the very late reply. Quote The [NEWLINE] field only works for lists, I thought you were talking about those, sorry I was indeed talking about lists and not the mass set tags Going back to the example. I've made a test file named list.txt, which is to serve as my list with the following 2 lines: 1a.mp3 ; test1 test2 test3 ; 1989 ; 2a.mp3 ; test1 [NEWLINE] test2 NEWLINE test3 ; 1989 ; In the "Tag/rename from list" tab in MP3 Tag Studio I've choosen the advanced option and have choosen for "File row format" the following: <Target file>;<Year>;<Comment> Finally when I click on the "Execute !" button I already get the preview window. Here, I get in the comments field literally what I wrote down. No newline or anything. This is what I get: test1 test2 test3 test1 [NEWLINE] test2 NEWLINE test3 The other fields works as expected. Long story short, either the [NEWLINE] thing isn't working or I don't know how to use it Back to top

jdanniel Board Newbie Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Sep. 14 2007,13:25 Hello. I, too, cannot use MP3 Tag Studio on Vista.   I have the full retail version of Home Premium. Magnus, I don't mind waiting for an updated Vista-compatible version of the program. But my question is this:  When an updated version is ready, will there be a charge for it, or will it be a standard upgrade? Thanks!  Jd Back to top

Magnus Brading Almighty Author Group: Super Administrators Posts: 2751 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Sep. 16 2007,18:47 Please try the new beta that was released today, it should work in Vista. And yes, it's a free upgrade (all upgrades are free for Mp3/Tag Studio, all licenses are life-time long). -------------- Software author and website owner Back to top
