Editing ID tags for tracks in preexisting folders

[BingoWings]

I used to use batch converter to edit ID tags for folders of songs already ripped. Made the job so easy!

Now when I load folders into batch converter & tap on the artist/title/genre/etc of a track, the edit isn't opening up. The tags arent selectable at all.

I can still edit id tags individually by clicking a track in the windows file explorer folder. Time consuming! Really need to do batches.

I had a rummage here on the forum looking for answers. Concluded I might be missing a codec somehow (no idea how as it worked perfectly a few years ago... my stuff has been in storage a while!)

So I checked the available codecs on DB's site & the ones necessary for what I'm trying to accomplish (arrange audio & ID tag update) are actually included in DBPA Reference. I.e. they're part of the main package, not something I can download & run separately.

Maybe it's a permissions issue? Or from Windows updates running a wrecking ball that destroys basic functionality again? Had so many issues! Still on Windows 10 & will be switching to Linux Mint as soon as I find time to do that.

For batch editing of tags based on albums, or even change every 'Bob Merley' to 'Bob Marley' for every track which is miss spelt, then PerfecTUNES is the better choice.

Batch Converter AFAIK does not all mass tag editing.
