Anyone knows a good Tag Editor on Mac?

Haven't used it yet, but 'musorg' seems to be well received in the Mac community, and it's free.

Have used Tag (sbooth) showing its age but still servicable and Picard (MusicBrainz) which is fully featured, cross platform and over-complex.

Media rage is the most fully featured but the easiest is tag.

I use lltag on linux, command line tool that can use cddb.

Had a quick look and I think it is available on osX.

Lhau,

I use 'Tag' for FLAC files, and 'Play' for ALAC/AAC/MP3 - both from sbooth, and I rip with 'Max'. Not many bells and whistles, but sufficient for my needs. 'Play' is not a tag editor per se - as its name suggests it's a music player - but it's super easy to edit simple tags on a bunch of files with it. And all are free.

Another vote for Tag! In special cases I use metaflac from the shell console for FLAC files (for example adding cover art to all files in a dir).

Ihau,

I have the same questions as you have and my findings so far are:

Tagging of

• MP3
• AAC
• MP4
• Apple Lossless (ohne Kopierschutz)
• AIFF

works best with SongGenie. Nice GUI, fun to use.

Cover Art with CoverScout. Cool usability too.

I have had a testset of 2000 songs, it worked without any hassle.

Price of both products is reasonable too.

To Tag FLAC files (44.1/16 and 88.2/24) however seems to be a problem which I have not been able to solve so far. Media Rage seems to be the tool of choice so far. But is the tool further developed or am I on a dead end? And what about Covers? Media Rage is far not as usable as SengeGenie and CoverScout. I have a question open whether SongGenie and CoverScout will in the future also support FLAC Tagging. This would be just great.

Anyhow: Once the tagging is done there will be the next problem. How does a Media Server interact with a NDX? So far even with Media Rage Tagging and Cover Arts of my FLAC's the covers won't appear on the iPhone n-Stream V2.0.....MP3's tagged and covered with SongGenie/CoverScout however work fine.

I am right no using Playback as a Media Server on my Mac Mini. I have tested also isedora, EyeConnect, Allegro. Work still in progress.  

After all of that pain howver I am thinking of solving all problems at once by buying a UnitiServe. I think the big plus would be that Naim itself has a interest in making "it" work in an easy way if they want to go on selling UnitiServes in the future.

May digital chain: Mac Mini Server, drobo RAID system (perfect!), iMac with Max/sbooth for Ripping, Gigabit Ethernet to the NDX.

Vortexbox (I know predictable ) will serve flac quickly to both mac/itunes (as transcoded wav) and NDX/N-stream as flac. When you get a Unitiserve the Vortexbox server can act as a raid/NAS for your music stores. Use Bliss to sort out simple tagging and all your Cover Art.

Job done - time for a drink (but not alcohol obviously if you've read today's papers!)
