SoulGears

Handling a large music collection is often a tedious task that takes incredibly long to complete. An audio tagger is always the recommended solution in such situations, being able to handle and sort media files without requiring advanced computer knowledge.

Applications such as SoulGears can provide a great deal of comfort when administering huge volumes of songs. As opposed to similar utilities that can handle a wider array of media formats, SoulGears focuses on MP3 files exclusively.

The application is wrapped up inside a simple design, boasting a very straightforward main window where you can load the files using the dedicated button or by drag and drop.

All of the songs are gathered in a list, alongside existent metadata information. You will be able to change details such as title, artist, album, track, year, genre and comments for individual files, as well as for all of them at once.

The tag information can be set using the dedicated ‘Format’ field, where you can customize a global or individual pattern composed of metadata info like this: &t for title, %a for artist, %A for album and so on, with the observation that you can exclude fields by using the ‘*’ wildcard.

There’s also the possibility to export the modified files to a location of your choice and optionally to delete or overwrite the original files in the process.

The new tag properties are applied very fast, the whole process being recorded and logged in an individual window where you can check for potential errors.

Although SoulGears carries out its job flawlessly, there might be a few features missing from the package, such as support for more formats, built-in tag scenarios (which would eliminate the need to write them manually), comparing tag info to an online database, to name just a few.
