  • Configure the text tools to copy TINTs:
    • File | Preferences | Tools | Text tools
    • Add a new tag called TINT, with the following pattern if you use TINT-based filing
      • $num($directory(%path%,2),14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%
    • Or if you use tags with barcode, you may use
      • $num(%barcode%,14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%
  • Put the files you want to masstag in a playlist
  • Copy tints by selecting all, Right-click | Utils | Text tools | Copy: TINT
  • Paste into the tango.info tagger tool:

Note: You should see a line that describes the output

%X-linecounter%;%X-TIN%;%album%;%BAND%;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%artist%;%genre%;%year%;%dummy%

A corresponding output line itself could look like, e.g.

1;00008637207120;King of Rhythm 1937-1944;Juan D'Arienzo;1;1;El choclo;Juan D'Arienzo;tango;1937-07-26;;22;


  • Copy the results and return to foobar2000
  • Right click | Tagging | Manage Scripts
  • Add Input data
  • In the Input data dialog, paste the data in the bottom pane.
  • Put the following scheme in the top line:
  • %%;%barcode%;%album%;%album artist%;%discnumber%;%track%;%title%;%track artist%;%genre%;%date%;%%;%totaltracks%;

Note: This scheme should match the output of the tango.info tagger, "%%" discards data.


  • You get a preview before pressing Run to update actual tags.
