Speeding up mass tag edits
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2025 12:27 am
Hello,
I have several questions about speeding up the process of hundreds of tag edits. I appreciate any help you can give me.
1) Is there a way to turn off the auto refresh of the column filter? My first round of edits involve updating the album artist. I have dozens of compilations which incorrectly list the Artist also as the Album Artist, of which I'm making Various Artists. Every time I make a change, the tags get updated and my list refreshed to the top of the list. I want to keep it where I am so I don't have to start over.
2) As I hit the up/down arrow, I see the database is updating (something), well after the last actual edit is completed. I don't know what it is doing but it is slowing me up. Is there a way to manually set this as well?
3) Is there a way to identify an album, and if it has multiple artists on it, flag it as such so I can update the Album Artist easier?
4) Are there any other suggestions for doing mass edits such as these?
Thanks again!
