'Paste' changes to blue, but when I click it nothing happens. Although they produce sub-menus when clicked, only a few of the items change to blue. I have a text file ready to either Copy or Import to Mp3tag, but most of the buttons in the menu bar are greyed-out as are the text options above them (File, Edit, View, etc). Hello again all, I'm still missing something. There are built-in routines for accessing data from the internet, but the internet information is a) not always right, and b) probably unavailable for single tracks that are not part of an LP or CD. But before I part with cash, I need to know for sure. I am hoping that MP3TAG can do what I want, and I have read an awful lot of the information on this site that suggests it might. How can I automatically add metadata to each MP3 file, preferably at the same time as changing the filenames to title and artist? All the information is there, the existing program uses each filename to search for the title/artist information and changes the filename as it stands. But now I want to add metadata, and this is where the story really starts. There is still no duplication because a third 'field' in the titles is the significant part of the unique filename. Its easy enough to automatically change the filenames to, e.g., title and artists, I have already written a Python program that runs on the Raspberry Pi to do just that. What I want to do now is to use that data to add TAG information to each MP3 file, and as there are over 1,000 files I want to automate the process. I can convert the Word file into various text formats (CSV, TSV, Return-SV) easily enough which provides me with a source of data. The unique filenames do have a good side - there are no duplications even thought some songs might be the same as others. Each WAV (and therefore MP3) file has a unique filename as supplied by the digitising recorder, it is cryptic, and the only way to see which tune is which is to refer to the Word table. WAV files, which I have since converted and saved to a different location as. I also have a Word table listing the titles, artists, dates, labels, etc, which I had plenty of time to type in while each record was being digitised in real time. I have a large collection of digitised cassette recordings, 45 RPM singles, 33.333 RPM LPs, and even some 78 RPM, erm, singles, I suppose.
