I’ve been looking all morning for a way to “lock” all the tag info once you get it right – including Copyright, comments, lyrics – everything. How do you do this and is there an app that will do it or do you have to edit the MP3 code and type something in?

your article was certainly most useful. I did miss any mention of how to keep the ratings during the re-import… my ratings are by far the most precious thing to me about my music library. I could live much more easily with incorrect names and missing artwork, as that is really unrelated to how much I like one song or another.

When I load music on my different sized iPods, I do it purely by my star rating.

And I find iTunes’ way of not storing the rating in the ID3 tag atrocious, and 5 stars not quite enough. why? cause if I give 5 stars to my very favorite music up to where that still fits on a shuffle, 4 stars up to where it fits on my nano, and 3 stars up to where it fits on my regular iPod, I only have 2 stars left to rate the rest. (no stars means for me I haven’t rated them yet)

iTunes doesn’t unfortunately delete the other tags you don’t need like APE, only tends to read the tags that are already there and doesn’t add artwork to the actual tag automatically – only to the iTunes database

iTunes does a pretty good job of setting up id3 tags on its own, but I do love me some musicbrainz.

mp3tag is good for tidying up tags if they are already there, but it doesn’t find missing tag information

I swear by Florian Heidenreichâ€™s Mp3tag as an absolutely essential part of my MP3 arsenal.
