MPTagThat is a feature rich Open Source Tag Editor with a modern interface. The motivation to write such a tool was, that further development of my favourite Tag Editor ID3-Tagit was stopped.
I was analysing Taglib# a library, which can read and write tags of the most common file formats, to be used inside MediaPortal. So there is already something available which does great parts of the job to be done.
I planned just to do a quick hack for tagging some wma files and then i liked what i had so far and started adding feature by feature.
MPTagThat - The MediaPortal Tageditor was born.
Some main features of MPTagThat are:
- Tagging and Managing Music Files
- Ripping of Audio CDs with FreeDB support
- Burning of Audio CDs
- Conversion into various Formats
- Selecting files via Folder View or Database View
Hope this tool is as valueable for you as it is for me.
thanks to the other members in the team that contributed graphics (Harley), code (rtv) and initital testing (ronilse and chemelli) as well as mackey for his Lyrics Engine.
have fun,
Helmut (hwahrmann)
