i have started a complete re-write of this program, to make it fully object-oriented and to support unicode, as well as using MFC. i hope to have a working version ready in the next few weeks, so watch this space for furthur updates.

this is basically the start of a bigger project, a mood logic type program, that generates playlists depening on the criteria you choose. but for now, it's just a simple id3 editor, which lets you modify many files with the info you choose, or it can parse the filename and create the id3 from that. it uses the id3lib library, so it is compatible with both id3v1 and id3v2 tags.

there really is no documentation for how it works, so i'll give a brief overview here. basically, you select your starting directory, then the field you wish to update, and you hit the mass modify button. if you want to edit tags one-by-one, just click the directory list button, and it will give you a list of the selected directory, then just change the fields you want and click the update id3 to update the tag. it can also get fields from the filename, it supports the track name, artist name, and track number. just select each field and leave it blank, and it will try and get it from the filename. it does expect specific formats, however, and they are:


i hope that makes sense. anyways, i hope to make more official documentation sometime soon, but this should do for now.
