Saving Tags to files
Step 1
First change to a directory containing
supported
audio-files by using the command
File > Change directory...
The file view now contains all the files of this directory. If you also want to display the files of the subdirectories,
please enable the option
Subfolders in the change directory dialog
Step 2
Now select the file to edit by using the mouse or the keyboard. The tag of the selected file will be displayed in the
entry fields on the left of the main window.
If there are more file selected, the entry fields will show the default values for multiple selections. You can
customize these default values at
Options > Default values
Step 3
Please enter the tag-information of the current file to the entry fields.
If one field contains the text
< keep >, Mp3tag will keep the current content of this tag-field when saving the new tag.
If one field contains the text
< remove >, Mp3tag will remove the current content of this tag-field when saving the new tag.
Step 4
Save the new tag by using the command
File > Save tag
or use the disc button at Mp3tag's toolbar.
Note
Mp3tag always stores ID3v1- and ID3v2-Tags to MP3 files. You can
change these settings via
Options > Tags > Mpeg.
