MPTagThat - The MediaPortal Tag Editor
I've used many years various Tag editors to maintain music files, so that they are treated correctly inside MediaPortal. I found myself using two different Tag Editors, because not every Tag Editor was supporting all the features I needed.
My main Tag Editor was ID3-Tagit . It worked prefectly for my needs, with two drawbacks. Only mp3 files are supported and it doesn't support scripting to enhance functionality. Moreover the author has decided to discontinue development.
For editing file formats other than mp3, i was using The Godfather , but the development seems to be stalled there as well.
The Music Importer of MediaPortal makes use of Taglib# a library, which can read and write tags of the most common file formats. So there is already something available which does great parts of the job to be done.
In spring 2008 i needed to burn an Audio CD out of my mp3 compilation and all my usual tools failed for some reason to create a correct CD. At this time I was looking at the Encoding capabilities of the BASS library, if it would be useful to be used inside MediaPortal.
This was what motivated me to start my own Tool, which allows Tag Editing, Organising Files, Audio Playback, Burning, Ripping and Conversion.
MPTagThat - The Mediaportal TagEditor was born.
Hope this tool is as valueable for you as it is for me.
Thanks to the other members in the team that contributed, graphics (Harley), code (rtv) and initital testing (ronilse and chemelli) as well as mackey for his Lyrics Engine.
