Correct Year in Many Tags

[kweller]

This isn't a dMC problem but someone here may know if there's a way to do this.

I have a large number of tracks that have been ripped from compilation albums that have the CD year in their tag (because that's what I specified when I ripped it!) rather than the year the track itself was released.

This is a bit of a forlorn hope as I'm not entirely sure how it could work but does a tool exist that will undertake a mass update of tag year information using a web site as its information source or is laboriously referencing the CDs and editing the tags manually the only way I'm going to correct them?

If, as I suspect, manual update is the only answer does anyone know of a tag editing tool that will open the tags for all tracks in a directory allowing me to edit them en masse rather than editing them singly?

Thanks.

I guess that's a "No" then!

In case anyone is interested the nearest I've come to the ability to edit a page full of tages is Dr. Tag which displays a folder full at a time.

It would be quite nice if MMC provided the ability to edit the tag details in-line in the same way as it currently allows editing of the rating...

You could select multiple tracks (hold down Ctrl when clicking) and then give them all the same year.

I could but I think the way I'm going to have to do this is have a pile of compilation CDs in front of me and work through them one album at a time with MMC in album/track number order so the years are likely to be all different.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
