 ==How to tag your music files from tango.info data==
 These procedures label the files of your computer-based music library with metadata (track name, artist, genre etc.) from tango.info.
-To identify albums, it relies on the ''barcode number'' - the 12, 13 or 14-digit number (excluding spaces and dashes, e.g. '''8427328130431''') shown under the barcode on the back cover of the album's case, or on the album's tango.info page.
-The tags filled are:
-* '''Album''' (title), mass tagging only: '''Album Artist''', '''Side''' (a.k.a. Disc Number, Set)
-* (of track:) '''Title''', '''Track''' (number), '''Artist''', '''Genre''', '''Year'''
-Note: The '''Artist''' value is a comma-separated list of primary artist name(s) (e.g. orchestra leader) followed by secondary artist name(s) in alphabetic order of (full) name.
 There's a choice of two procedures:
 * [[solo tagging]] - does one album at a time
 * [[mass tagging]] - does multiple albums (e.g. your entire library) in one go.
