I am about to finish off first step of Music Tagger, it now supports ID3 Version 2 tags including Pictures. I would like someone to test it properly before I release it. Anyone interested in doing this ?
Mcleppa, I tested your program on a SAM flex 800 (OS 4.1.3).
First, it didn't hang, good point ! I used it especially to test the image insertion in mp3 files. That worked but when I first tried on some mp3 files, after multi select them, I had a warning "Version 2.4 not possible". I am sorry this is not the exact message. I had to click ok for each file in the selection but the image was inserted however. I remarked that your program is long when it tries to search if an image already exists or when I delete the file from the selection. It only happens to the files I changed and not to the files which had already an image attached.
2) I don't understand the interest to duplicate buttons in your gui, the two below ID3V1 and ID3V2 labels. The buttons to the right seem to have the same meaning.
3) Does your program use templates like %n, %P, %i or whatever to create automatically the names of the files, artist or album reagarding the mp3 filenames?
Voilà, That are my questions. I hope that you can answer them. One time again, good job.

Since a lot of months without an amiga to love, I was lost. Now I feel happiness again with a Sam Flex 800 .

Program only supports v2.3 tags at the moment, but I will support all versions very shortly.
The requester warnings will be fixed.
Question: could you read the tags after these warnings ?

There are some minor differences like string length, but I guess I will remove the id3v1 guiset to make it easier to use

I only import title tag from filename, but are planning a fully configurable template for import/export tags/filenames
Thank you for good feedback, much appreciated and I will go ahead and resolve these issues!!
Just did a quick try, i've dragged a music folder into it and the program was able to show all mp3's info needed without any problem, only problems seems the program stability ... iconify gadget for example didn't worked (nothing happen) and then when i open the about window i got an immediate DSI crash ..

Yes, the slowiness of reading tags is due to a little mistake I had done in the code. after reading the picture tag it was searching byte by byte in the file which was causing the slowiness, I am working on this now and would upload the new program so you could try if it has been fixed
Hi, great work, this is something I could have a use for !, seems much easier to handle than id3tagLibGUI...
I did just a short test run, and yes very impressive, here is a bug:
When editing something into the string gadgets, it will be lost when I resize columns of listview. Guess codingwise you need a workaround somehow...
A few suggestions:
- Clean up the GUI a bit... What are all those inactive checkboxes for ? - A way to easy copy ID3TAG V1 fields to ID3TAG V2 fields/gadgets - Is it possible to obtain album art from the net ? This would be a "killer" feature...
Please don't! I like to have id3v1 info in all my MP3s, even when I have id3v2 as well.
I will fully support writing of version 1 tags, but I will use one guiset for both. Maybe have an option to specifically specify id3v1 tags since they got a restriction of their length. As it has been mentioned earlier my GUI needs a little tidying up.

The checkboxes will be activated when selecting multiple files, giving you the opportunity to tag several files with various options Quote:

Yes this is possible and is planned in the future, but will take some time before I implement that. I need the basic functionality and usability sorted out first.

To make it more cleaner you may use a tabbed GUI style, this will save the proper space and permit you a better separation of the various contents .. also old version of your program had a logo at the top of the screen, it was nice imho and maybe can be re-enabled at some point
I tested your program, not rewrite the tags, but I could see the picture inside of a mp3 file, and the option to add to mp3 files, I like your program, fantastic.
