===Step 1 - Rip CD to your hard drive===
Use a program such as CDex (http://cdexos.sourceforge.net). Ensure you rip each CD to a separate folder. To be able to perform multiple CD tagging (see below), you must ensure you rip every track from each album.

With your mouse, highlight the list of tags you retrieved in Step 2, then right click and Copy it. (Note: don't copy the whole page, just the list of tags. Each line of this list begins with the 14-digit number and is followed by other tagging info such as album, song title, track number and year.)
In my experience, as generally all programs work on the database structure, we should keep supplementary information on a track as condensed as possible, in order to allow all infos to fit into the grid space (that seems to be never enough!) for example;

# In '''Format string''' enter<pre>%dummy%;%album%;%track%;%title%;%artist%;%genre%;%year%;%dummy%</pre>.
# Click '''OK'''. The files will be tagged.


Note: If the file set fails to include every track from each CD, the tracklist will be misaligned with the tag list and hence mistagging will occur.
[[User:Chrisjjj|Chrisjjj]] 18:14, 21 October 2007 (CEST) I strongly disagree. Track tags should contain the full information, e.g. '''Francisco Canaro & Ada Falcon'''. And the '''Artist''' field should contain only artists and not the content description  '''Instrumental'''.

ORCHESTRA'DIRECTOS SECOND NAME, - , 1st. SINGER'S SECOND NAME

Chrisjjj 18:14, 21 October 2007 (CEST) I strongly disagree. Track tags should contain the full information, e.g. Francisco Canaro & Ada Falcon. And the Artist field should contain only artists and not the content description Instrumental.

album - subtitles

Well, I would say this date is an album sub-title. If t.i added support for album sub-titles, displaying them as distinct from titles, for tagging it could give the option of putting it into a sub-field e.g. Album = <albumtitle> | <albumsubtitle1>
