I have a file renaming application that I am going to unleash on the world, and I had some very rudimentary V1.1 tag editing functionality but it was crude and obvioulsy outdated. And didn't really fit into the application well. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel I went looking and found yours, and it is awesome, it seems to do everything.
Anyway, what would be nice is if I could add a menu item in my own app (functionality already exists) that would launch mtstudio with either a filename, list of files or a folder. If this existed I would definitely promote your app along with mine!
(probably will anyway)Something kind of like this has been suggested before with the launch from Explorer, but this works a bit different.
Great App!

You can use the same commands that I use when I launch it from the shell extension:
To open it in a certain working dir (with focus on the last used tool), use the following command line parameter:
-sxd<directory_path>
Example:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
mp3tag_s.exe "-sxdC:\mp3"
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
To open it on a certain file, in the browse tool, use the following command line parameter:
-sxf<file_path>
Example:
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------
mp3tag_s.exe "-sxfC:\mp3\somefile.mp3"
---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------

Thanks! Worked perfectly!
I will be sure to promote your app as the best I have seen for MP3 Tag Edting! (along with Razor Lame for ecoding, MP3Gain for normalization and Exact Audio Copy for ripping)
If you are interested in seeing my renaming app let me know, I haven't finished the help, but the app is basically ready to go.
Thanks again, great app!
