Now, as Florian implemented the valuable feature of tags database: half way is done.Īnd I think, for saving resurces/speed, it is enough for some fields only: composer, artist, albumartist, contentgroup, album, title, and so on - encodersettings, unsyncedlyrics will be meaningless. Second: foobar is a brilliant program, too, but not for tagging in the first place - Mp3tag is for this purposes. First, it mixes data of several fields: when I look for a composer, it shows me in drop-down list the performers, genres too, and so on.

Foobar already has something like this (in panel, opening for 'Properties' from a context menu), but it is not mature. Yes, this is a big modification, but really would be a very big help for users. It is less difficult to implement (I think), and easier to manage for users - as it simply must not be managed. but a 'simple' drop-down of existing tags for that field (as above, with a new buttons, keeping the current functionality of the existing drop-downs). customized lists with values for the tag. I've photoshoped a picture to illustrate my suggestion (note the extra buttons in the Tag Panel). I think this solution would satisfy those of us who have been wishing for value lists, without touching the current functionality of the drop-downs. In this window list, you would select one or multiple values to be added to the tag.

For example, when you click the button next to Style, a window with the values for Style pops up.

These pop-ups would contain customized lists with values for the tag in question. In addition to the drop-downs in the Tag Panel, there could also be buttons for pop-up windows.

So, to be able to have value lists while keeping the drop-down feature untouched, I have the following suggestion: There are several requests here on the forum for customizable drop-down lists in the Tag Panel - while this would also suit my needs, the solution seems to displease those who want to keep the current functionality of the drop-downs. I've tried to use sample files and to use Actions, but those solutions weren't well suited for this purpose. Also lists for artist, composer, conductor, producer etc would be practical, to keep spelling consistent. style, mood, theme, location, label etc in lists. I've been tagging my flac's with mp3tag for some years now, and it is the best tagger I have tried by far! The only thing I've been missing is a practical way to save the values for e.g.
