The tag editor - fix tags by hand
When automatic tagging gets something wrong, or a track arrives with no metadata at all, the tag editor lets you type the details in yourself - for one track or for a whole batch at once.
Reach for it when you want direct control: correcting a misspelled album, filling in a missing year, setting the right cover art, or renaming files to a tidy pattern. It sits alongside Super-Tag, which does the same job automatically. Use the tag editor when Super-Tag can't find a match, guesses wrong, or when you already know the right answer and simply prefer to type it in.
Editing a single track
This is the most precise way to work, and it's free for everyone.
- Open the tag editor and select a track.
- Edit any field you like - title, artist, album, album artist, track and disc numbers, year, genre, BPM, composer, comment, copyright, and lyrics.
- Click Save. Your changes are written into the file itself, and your library updates straight away.
If a file has no embedded tags yet, you'll see a note that the values came from your library (read from the filename and folder). Review them, correct anything that's off, and save to write them into the file for the first time.
Editing many tracks at once
To fix a whole album or a batch of tracks together, hold Ctrl and click each track you want, or use the button to select every track on an album. Then edit the shared fields - album artist, album, year, genre, and so on.
The golden rule: only the fields you fill in get written. Anything you leave blank is left untouched on every track, so you won't accidentally wipe individual titles or track numbers. It's the quick way to set one correct album name or genre across dozens of files in a single save.
When you need per-track detail afterwards - different titles, different track numbers - choose Edit Each Track to step through the selection one at a time.
Editing many tracks at once is one of the premium power tools. Everyone gets a generous free taste of it, and a Pro upgrade removes the cap so you can bulk-edit as much as you like. Single-track editing is always free.
Adding artwork
You can set cover art whether you're editing one track or several.
- Choose an image to embed a picture from your own computer.
- Search online to look up cover art by artist and album, then click a result to embed it.
- Clear removes the embedded artwork.
When several tracks are selected, the image you pick is applied to all of them.
Renaming files as you save
When you're editing a single track, you can tick Rename file on save and give a pattern built from the track's own tags. Available tokens include:
{track}- the track number (use{track:02}to pad it, like 01, 02){title},{artist},{album},{year},{genre},{disc}
For example, {track:02} - {title} produces files like 04 - Wish You Were Here. Renaming happens only when you save, and only for single-track edits - bulk edits never rename your files.
Tag editor or Super-Tag?
Both write to the same tags, so it comes down to which suits the moment.
- Super-Tag is best when you have lots of tracks and want the app to identify and fill them in for you.
- The tag editor is best for hand-corrections, one-off fixes, and cases where you know the right answer and just want to type it in.
A common workflow is to run Super-Tag first, then open the tag editor to tidy up anything it missed or got wrong.
