What are you listening to right now ?

I am surprised they don't offer FLAC rather than WAV.

yea, surprising, as their three previous downloads offered for free were in FLAC (Live - first album, Williamsburgh, and Flood).

btw - there is a real interesting video for "You're on Fire", a tune that once its in your head, takes some time for it to leave - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlGN...el=ParticleMen

Assumption is that source files and destination files are the same songs and are in the same order.

Bring up MP3Tag and load the source file(s) with the tags you want to copy.

Select all files

Edit -> Copy

Without closing MP3Tag Open destination file(s) location

Select all files

Edit -> Paste

This worked just fine for me.

That sounds easy enough, thanks [emoji106]

I've been playing Heavy Rocks by Boris - arrived this week, gold vinyl. Also available on all the usual streaming platforms. I seem to have developed a bit of a soft spot for Boris, this is a more straightforward heavy outing by the band. They have been ridiculously productive over the years.

I've been listening to new folkish music, from relative youngsters and oldsters.

The Watkins Family Hour Vol. 2 features Sarah and Sean Watkins, and a host of guests -- Fiona Apple, Jackson Browne, Lucius, others. I particularly like the Lucius opener, a kind of heavenly choir sort of thing. Lots of great playing, but it's all kind of gentle. See a review at https://variety.com/2022/music/news/...ra-1235346640/.

The oldster is Loudon Wainwright III, who is 75, even older than me. His new album, Lifetime Achievement, is vintage Loudon, well performed and sung (I don't think his voice has gotten any worse over time), and full of humor and trenchant observation. He's a treasure

I'll admit I almost always tilt toward younger artists these days, but both of these are great recordings.

Just downloaded and listened to the new They Might be Giants compilation "Idlewild" (free for a short period of time) - https://tmbgshop.com/collections/all...ation-download

Not a greatest hits by any means, but some interesting, quirky (always) stuff, and very upbeat, good for activities

Of Interest, an electronic version of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"'

If you like them (or not) get it while it's free! (at least it is in the US)

Sorry, a little off topic because I am not actually listening it to it yet, but another free download is available from TMBG. These guys are busy! https://tmbgshop.com/collections/all...mains-download

I appreciate that they offer a lossless version on these (WAV which I then convert to FLAC and clean up tagging). Good stuff, but only part way through the first one. Always an interesting band.

.Always an interesting band.

Humor and irony are always part of the equation . What I always thought was so cool, is they got to the age where they had kids, and switched to doing educational albums for years. Here comes science, here come the abc's, etc. The bonus being not only were they educational, the music remained fantastic with educational content. Very listenable even for those of us that know the a,b,c's

I used this method for the latest They Might Be Giants free download (I selected "Tag Copy" and "Tag Paste" rather than "Copy" and "Paste") and it worked perfectly.

Another approach is (1) make sure files are in track order, (2) use tools autonumbering wizards, then (3) select all files, choose CONVERT, then "filename to tag", with mapping of %dummy% %title%. Then for all files add the album name, artist name, year of album, genre. Either approach is easy!

That's what I did last time [emoji2]. This time the process was complicated for both methods as the track titles.on disc 1 were inconsistent so wouldn't appear in track order.

I hear you. That's why I had to use the track numbering and %dummy%. With the prior files, I could skip the track numbering and just use mapping of %track% %title%.

I added the disc number prefix to all the track names [emoji2]

or just load and play the already tagged 320kbps mp3 files and put the wav files in the ~\when I get around to it\~ folder
