7.5.6 Writing Tags to Multiple Files

Metadata tags are written to all selected files. Unsupported tags will simply be skipped.
For example, if M4A and MP3 files are selected, the Gapless tag will be skipped for all
MP3 files, but still written to the selected M4A files.

7.5.7 Importing Tags from Another File

Any audio files that contain metadata are listed in the File List with a small arrow button in

the right-most column.

Hover your mouse cursor over a button to preview the metadata from that file in the
Metadata Editor. Previewed metadata tags are shown in green. Click a button to

import

the metadata from that file into the Metadata Editor.

Only non-empty tags will be imported, so existing edited tags cannot be overwritten with
an empty tag from another file.

Importing metadata from another file in this way is compatible with the

Undo/Redo

mechanism, and the

Revert feature.

7.5.8 Metadata Presets

Metadata tags can be saved into presets for later use. To display the metadata presets
manager, click the

Metadata Presets tab in the lower right hand area of the Manager. In

this presets manager, a list of saved presets is displayed.

Hover the mouse cursor over a preset name to

preview the saved tags in the Metadata

Editor. Previewed metadata tags are shown in green. Click on a preset to

load the saved

tags into the Metadata Editor as changes for the selected file.

Since the presets are imported as changes to the existing content in the

Metadata Editor,

if a preset does not contain anything different, nothing will be previewed or imported.

To undo metadata tag changes after importing a preset, press the

Undo button, or use

the keyboard shortcut

Command + Z (Mac) or Control + Z (Windows).

To save a new metadata preset, press

Command + S (Mac) or Control + S (Windows), or

press the

+ button that appears on mouse over in the upper-left corner of the Preset Tab.

This will open a text field where the preset name can be typed. Press

Enter to save the

preset, or

Escape to dismiss the text field, and cancel the saving process.
