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), Album Artist, mass tagging only: 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.
