Subject:Edit Metadata Posted by: SESound Date:8/2/2002 4:14:30 PM Is there a way with or without Sound Forge to edit the metadata of a file quicker than opening the entire file. I have a small alteration to make to the metadata on 20+ files and so far I am opening the files in SF changing the info and saving. This is a long and tedious process just to change the metadata. Batch Converter is out as each file is unique. Thanks for any help.

It's alot like Batch converter. http://myhome.iolfree.ie/~mp3workshop/ Shell extensions allow you to encode/decode/resample/retag/change volume directly from Windows Explorer. You can right click on the MP3 file and the ID3 Tag comes up for it, change data and save. MJ

Click the upper left menu selector and select "View file info" or press Alt+3. PS- Winamp does not take over your PC and change many of your file associations like the obnoxious Real Player.

I forgot about that! It's even faster to load a directory in the playlist window > right-click on an MP3 file and select "File info" and allows editing ID3 tag ver. 1 or 2. Good call rraud, especially since most already have Winamp installed. MP3 Workshop is a stable non-intrusive multi-function app. for those that need it's capabilities including Lame encoding for those interested. MJ
