This page describes tango.info music mass tagging with foobar2000.
Setup
- Install the component "Text tools" (foo texttools)
- 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)-%directory%-%_filename%
- Or if you use tags with barcode, you may use
- $num(%barcode%,14)-$num($max(1,%discnumber%),2)-%track%
Mass tagging
- Select the files you want to masstag
- put them in a playlist
- Copy TINTs
- selecting all files, Right-click | Utils | Text tools | Copy: TINT
- Send TINTs and name of fields to tango.info
- https://tango.info/tools/tagger1.3.2.php
- Paste TINTs into the form field "Track references":
- Select tags you want to get data for
- details at tango.info music tagger format string
- pre-selected is something like %x_count%;%tin%;%album_name%;%album_artist%;%discnumber%;....
- if you only want dates, put only %date%
- press submit
- Put the metadata obtained from tango.info into foobar2000
- Copy the results and return to foobar2000
- Right click | Properties | Tools | Automatically Fill Valuess
- Clipboard: line per track

- or you use something like %%;%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.

Mis-tagging
Report: ca 4000 tracks were ordered by TINT, the TINTs were pasted into the tagger1.3.4 and format string was "%tiwc%". Ca. 500 of the result lines had a TIWC. Then properties -> automticall fill values was chosen. The TIWC were misaligned. Behavior could be reproduced. Fix was to use "%tint%;%tiwc%" as format string, avoiding blank lines.
Note from user: "If the failure was due to blank lines being badly interpreted by fb2K, it would be good to clarify that."
