TagsRevisited

Audio files contain a bit more than just the necessary code to emit corresponding sound. Songs, for instance, come with attached tags so you can view related info on artist, albums, and songs. These details are known as ID tags, and you can either edit them through the file’s Properties panel, or relying on specialized applications like TagsRevisited.

As far as the visual design is concerned, the application is pretty well-organized. A side panel provides a tree list of folders to help you reach the location where audio files are located, while the center area displays detected items. This means you’re not able to load a list or a bunch of files through a drag and drop operation.

Files detected in the target directory are enlisted in a table with column headers based on tags. You can’t edit them on the spot, so you have to bring up the tag edit panel to fill in title, artist, album, comment, year, genre, and track if necessary. These are only applied once you say so to prevent accidental change of details.

On the other hand, it’s possible to access a set of quick edit actions. These can be used to add missing tag, time, publisher, album track count, correct dates, genres, URLs, filenames, or remove unwanted text. You can look up artist logo, URL, and album art online for accurate detail gathering.

Just to keep your collection of songs organized, the application comes with dedicated options to use tags to rename selected files, or use filenames to fill in tags. It’s possible to create custom scripts for an automated process, and even manage URL and genre databases.

All things considered, we can state that TagsRevisited is a nifty tool you can use to bring a bit of order to your music collection. Navigation is easily done through the tree list, with quick correction tools to fix missing tags. The set of features isn’t abundant, but helps manage tags for your entire collection.
