Automatic batch loading of tags is the most efficient way to fill in or correct music information and album covers. Amvidia Tag Editor can retrieve music metadata and artworks from online databases and local paths.
LOADING TAGS FROM NETWORK
Tag Editor can retrieve music information from MusicBrainz, AcoustID, CoverArt, and other online services. Those online services help fix missing or incorrect Artwork, Title, Artist, Album, Album Artist, Year, Track Number, and Tracks Total tags.
Tag Editor can rely on existing tags to speed up the online search for missing tags. Suppose audio files have no tags or incorrect tags only. In that case, the application can identify songs by their 'fingerprints' using the AcoustID database after Tag Editor downloads corresponding metadata from MusicBrainz and CoverArt databases.

LOADING TAGS FROM PATHS
Using the 'Loading tags from paths' feature is the fastest way to tag structured audio collections. For example, suppose a filename contains the Title and Number of a song. A folder named Album, containing album songs, is located within the Artist folder, along with an Album folder. In that case, Tag Editor correctly 'guesses' and extracts accurate metadata from the file path. The editor can also import local images as Artwork.
