Mp3tag 3.06 Released (March 25, 2021) Announcement Download Changelog Spoiler: Changelog v3.06 This new version is mainly about spring-cleaning with lots of improvements and fixes and I want to take the opportunity to detail some of the new features and changes for you. It's also first version that requires Windows 7 as a minimum operating system. It was about time Retry for Tag Sources If no results are returned for a certain search at Tag Sources, it's now possible to retry and having the previous query already filled in. No more entering the same information twice (or trice!). I've also added the option to retry for error case, e.g., when the internet connection of the servers are flaky. Option to disable auto-sizing of columns in Tag Source results So far, the column width for Tag Sources results has been decided based on the content that was returned from the query. While it always displays the full content, it also means that some columns are outside the dialog width and scrolling is needed. You can now disable the auto-sizing of column via the context menu of the column header. Undo via Ctrl+Z in Tag Panel fields This was quite some time in the making (I've received the first bug report on that back in Jan 2014). You can now undo text entry in Tag Panel fields without undoing the last tag-write or rename operation. Actions and Tag Sources available via context menu The file list context menu now also has the Actions and Tag Sources available via submenus. Sometimes it's just faster to trigger them from the context menu.

Does it have the ability to batch edit/fill up the ID3 tag from the file name (ARTIST - TRACK NAME). I still use Tag&Rename from 10 years ago because I haven't yet found anything easier than it.
Never needed to do batch editing so I don't know. Maybe wait until someone else can chime in, or review Mp3tag Documentation.
I don't currently have it installed on my laptop but have used it in the past. I don't think it does what you want. Most of these taggers try to do a database lookup and retrieves the info (if there is a match) and pulls that in. I think they mostly use the number of tracks and length of the songs to do the match.
no it basically just inputs the ID3 tag from the ARTIST - TRACKNAME.mp3 if it was named properly in that format and fills them in appropriately saving me a lot of hassle. I basically can add my entire MP3 collection and do that for all the files and it would fill them correctly 100%. It even has a function for batch editing so what I do is sometimes I batch edit my entire collection to remove all comment fields and whatnot
