I'm trying to create a macro to mass add the year tag to mp3 files. I'm trying to have the macro prompt with a blank text box for me to enter in the year to be applied to the year tag field...

any example code would be EXTREMELY appreciated

ArtistString=
ArtistMode=2
SetAlbum=FALSE
AlbumString=
AlbumMode=2
SetTrackNr=FALSE
TrackNrString=5
SetYear=TRUE
YearString=%MyYear%
YearMode=2
SetComment=FALSE
CommentString=
CommentMode=3
SetGenre=FALSE

There are some known problems with executing macros for multiple files from the Explorer shell extension (context menu) in the current beta, it is scheduled for fixing in upcoming releases though.

Awesome Magnus Brading. Truly awesome.

I'll look forward to the new release!

IF nobody's ever shouted thank you than....

THANK YOU!

My computer IS my jukebox, every CD I've ever bought (that isn't scratched) is on my PC in MP3 format... They're all on their own HDD, all properly named, and all properly tagged, almost all thanks to you.
