I nominate MP3BookHelper. Category is MP3 Tool


MP3BookHelper

This program provides rapid Mp3 (ID3v1, ID3v2) and Ogg Vorbis tags editing
and file renaming functions. Mass Tag editing is done using special
variables and Regular Expressions.

Undo and preview for all changes, capitalization, search and replace, use
parts of file name or directory structure for tags. Directory renaming and
restructure based on tags. All customizable and configurable.

Get the artist and album information from the freedb database over
internet.

Play your mp3 files in Winamp or internal player while editing Tags. It
will auto pause and resume Winamp when renaming or updating files.

It can also be used to easily create WinAmp-compatible playlists (M3U
files), Information (NFO) files, Parity archive (PAR) data recovery files,
Simple File Verify (SFV) and Sound Verification (.SV) checksum files.

You can export and import ID3 tags to and from XML and comma delimited text
files, verify CRC/MD5 checksums and more.

Originally it was designed for managing audiobooks but could be used for
any mp3 and ogg files.

----
Personal notes:

- Most flexible renaming I've seen
- EXCELLENT integration with Explorer! (right mouse context menu)
- Quirk: File Renaming is under tab called "Move"

Hi Susan,

If MP3 Bookhelper isn't already seconded, it is now.

This is quoted from the MP3 Tagger thread, Message-ID:

I thought *I* had nominated it (LOL).

If not, I'm happy to second it.

Hmmm...I don't see it as nominated *or* seconded on the nomination page!
So I'll forward this post...that will take care of both. Thanks!

Susan--if you need a description, I can provide that.

I apologize in advance if I'm overlooking the program on the nominations
page.

A *URL* would be a start - a *complete* description would be nice too.

I apologize in advance if I'm overlooking the program on the nominations

Nope, thanks for checking.

Yikes ...you really didn't see it! I'm thinking your ISP is missing

Sorry, I was reading posts by date - not threaded - I see it now. AFAIK
I'm getting *almost* all posts - have done some checking. Problems are
much more likely to be due to human error.
