Best FLAC metadata editor on Macbook

Posted by: KRM on 01 September 2014

Sorry if this has been covered before, but what the best way of editing downloaded files on a Mac? We bought a Macbook Pro yesterday and I've just found out that Media Monley is Windows only.

Thanks Wat,

 

Yate sounds interesting. It's free and I don't need a player so am reluctant to cough up for J River.

I like "Tag" (free) and Metadatics.

Thanks Bart,

 

I may try these as there doesn't seem to be any way navigate locations around my network (ie my NAS) with Yate.

Metadatics. Amazingly versatile and intuitive once you've spent just a little effort. Seems to remember what you want once you've edited a few rips.

...and I don't think MP3Tag works for Macs.

+1 for Metadatics as a meta-data editor for digital audio. Has a lot of nice features. I convinced the author to add regex support for batch editing titles. He even fed me betas for feedback and tweaked the feature to make it really useful for dealing with classical music.

For flac files, he easiest "Tag"

Kid3 for MP3 more complex but complete

Bliss is excellent either on a Mac or on Vortexbox - I use both and it's excellent.

 

Try Picard as well for tagging - not very intuitive to use but it gets the job done.

The only thing I use Picard for is to try to name unknown tracks by reference to an external database (it queries based on the actual waveform).  Otherwise, as Tog wrote, its interface not very intuitive.

Thanks folks. 

 

I have downloaded Metadatics and will give it a try in the next few days.

I found another Tag on Mac App Store. Not free but I think it's great.

 

Not sure if I'm allowed to this but here's a link to Mac App Store...
