The infotainment system in my truck uses metadata tags to organize all of the music. I’ve the past few years I have thought I was doing something wrong with the new music I was adding, but apparently the Music app’s edits of the data were not “sticking “.
I found a large number of music I had added but was not available to play in the Unknown folder.
Are there any free, or cheap Mac apps for editing the data?
I’ve used MusicBrainz Picard for this task on Mac in the past.
This has a really screwy interface. After playing with it a bit I am unable to see where I can manually change/add tags (I add the release year to all I of my album tags), only download them. It added a lot of interesting tags, such as each instrument and who is playing it.
Something I will play with a bit more.
Not sure if this is still relevant, or if the mac version differs, but try right click on the tag area.
I will check that. I did find an app that tags the way I want, but had issues with accents in track titles.
For those of you looking for command line options, ffmpeg can do it.
May not be quite the thing… media human
That appears to have a lot of features… and a lot of different apps, but from what I saw it does not do and tagging.
Ahh. Right. Sorry. Normally for conversion it does the automatic tagging.
Which is what I normally do.
Yeah if I was doing file conversions I think this would work.
I’ve used the windows version of MP3Tag in the past. There’s a Mac version but it’s paid.
Thanks, I had looked at that one, I am going to give the trial a shot today to see if its tag editing actually changes the tags for my infotainment unit.
