Automatic ID3-Tags / Cover Art from Beatport
Automatic ID3-Tags / Cover Art from Beatport Posted on: 24.12.2012 by Evelynn Piltz Hey,I've got some questions about tagging music. Till now I tag my mp3-files per hand, this takes much time but I get what I want. I tag following things: ARTIST, TITLE, MIXARTIST (Remixer), ALBUM, CATALOG #, PUBLISHER (Label), YEAR (just YYYY), GENRE , COMMENT (e.g. "bad quality" or whatever) + COVER. The most important thing for me is a program that searches for the Cover Art and adds it for every track automatically into the ID3-Tags! For Cover Art the resource (Beatport, Discogs, Juno, ...) is not important, but for tagging I would really prefer Beatport. If there is a program that autoamtically adds all tags from Beatport, that would be awesome. But just Cover Art would be fine too. What are your tips? How do you make it? Thanks in advance, JM | |

| Florencia Padwa 01.01.2013 | I need this but for Mac OSX, anyone know of anything out there? |
| Evelynn Piltz 25.12.2012 | MusicBee is nice, but I've got one problem. When I change the Album Art, Musicbee shows me the new, correct one (which I saved into the mp3 by MusicBee); and Itch / VLC shows me the old album art. Here is an example: http://imgur.com/F24jf And how to show the MIXARTIST (Remixer) in the main area? |
| Evelynn Piltz 24.12.2012 | MusicBee sounds good, I'll try that. |
| Lina Rawie 24.12.2012 | MusicBee has an excellent auto-tagging feature. It splits tags into the following 3 categories and allows you to select the following sources: - Lyrics LYRDB ChartLyrics.com LyricsDB LyricsWiki.com Artwork Last.FM CoverArtArchive Discogs Google.com Beatport Fanart.com Regular tag info MusicBrainz freeDB Discogs Beatport Last.FM For each category, you can check off which of the sources you want to use and you can change the priority. For example, for album art, you could set Beatport as the sole source to use and if no art is found there, it would be left blank. Or you could use Beatport as the number 1 source and Last.FM as the number 2, then it will look to see if album art is available at Beatport first. If not, it will then look at Last.FM and if none is found there either, it will be left blank. You get the idea. It's by far the best music manager/player I've ever used. |
| Tamela Batara 24.12.2012 | mp3's. I have just been tagging them myself, so no big deal. They usually have the artwork right enough, and I guess they are tagged somewhere, but they dont show up in explorer. |

| Tamela Batara 24.12.2012 | All the tunes I have bought recently have come untagged from Beatport. PITA... |
| Laurence Calisto 24.12.2012 | Where are you getting all your music that it's coming down untagged? |
| Ilana Enderson 25.12.2012 | You might be able to still use Trainspotter if you just manually add the files in or something rather than using the Traktor collection. You could also just get Traktor somehow, import everything in in order to use TSpotter |
| Evelynn Piltz 24.12.2012 | I don't use Traktor... |
| Ilana Enderson 24.12.2012 | Use Trainspotter. It's a bit sketchy at times but if you get used to it it's invaluable. You can tag from google images, beatport, or discogs. Make sure you disable the tags you don't want it to write (I disable beatport key and comment for example) |
