Tag Editor

O Editor de etiquetas incorporado permite mostrar e alterar os metadados dos arquivos de música. Para abrir o editor, basta clicar com o botão direito em uma ou mais músicas, álbuns ou gêneros selecionados, tanto na sua coleção quanto na sua lista de músicas, clique em Editar detalhes da faixa e escolher a aba Etiquetas.

Edit Tags Manually

Change the proper line to the required value and click Save & Close. Clicking Cancel discards all unsaved changes.

Tags

Tags are metadata such as the track number or the artist of the track contained in the file. A very common kind of tag is the ID3 tag.

Here is a list of tags supported by Amarok:

Tag	Description
Title	The title of the track.
Artist	The artist or band of the track.
Composer	The composer of the track.
Album Artist	The artist or band of the album.
Album	The album title.
Disc Number	The disc number of the album; important in a multi-CD album.
Genre	The genre of the track. This can be a custom genre, but usually one of the predefined ones is used.
Beats Per Minute	The tempo of the track.
Track	The number of the track on the album.
Year	The year in which the track or album was published.
Comment	A text comment for the track.

Edit Single Track

In this mode you can change all supported tags of the chosen file.

Edit Several Tracks

Several tracks can be selected by clicking on the artist, album, or genre in the your collection or by selecting several tracks in the playlist using the Ctrl (non-sequential) or Shift (sequential) key.

All At Once

More general tags can be set for a group of tags at once. It works just like the single-track-mode, but the title and track number tags are locked.

Track By Track

This mode is pretty similar to the single-track-mode, except for the ability to switch between the selected tracks using the Next and Previous buttons. It is activated by clicking on the checkbox Per Track on the bottom of the window.

Get Tags from MusicBrainz

A new feature in Amarok 2.4 is the ability to guess tags from the MusicBrainz database. Click the Get Tags from MusicBrainz, wait a moment for the database to be searched for matches, and then Update Tags, or Cancel.

If you have the packages libofa and ffmpeg installed, and Amarok is compiled with them, Musicbrainz will be able to use "fingerprinting" (the MusicDNS service) to search for albums and tracks without good filenames or existing tags.

Guess Tags From Filename

It is also possible to tag tracks using information in the filename. This is a very convenient feature when dealing with lots of files with a consistent naming scheme.

Some tracks need to be edited manually, because special characters like single quotes are omitted in file names. A preview helps to create the correct pattern.
