Setting file properties.

Post by 40k »

Using the property() command you can retrieve a specific property from a file. I'd like to be able to set the properties of several mp3 files (artist, title, etc..) using a script command.
Is this possible?

Afaik no, it's not.

Google for "ID3 Mass Tagger" (original homepage doesn't exist any more) and give it a try (ofc you have to control it via XY).

Which is weird considering it can be done manually though the "mp3 special" context menu...

edit: Well as it turns out FFmpeg is capable of setting media file properties through the command line. Which in turn can be scripted by XYplorer. So that fixes the problem.
