Versatile Hardworking Assistant for Swift Inventory of Music Libraries

MP3 Tag Assistant Professional is a robust, multipurpose tool to manage tags, file lists, and play lists; compare and update tag information from web databases; keep inventory of music files. Its rich functionality combines with ease of use to provide for better management of music libraries.

AssistantTools.com announces today the release of the newest version of MP3 Tag Assistant Professional, a dedicated tool for music file management. This release has brought together two years of development work and offers rich functionality for inventory keeping, play list management, and access to web databases of albums and lyrics. Support for a full spectrum of tag information and a choice of modes, both manual and automated, help swiftly generate, edit and manage tags, file lists, and playlists. Its extended capabilities make MP3 Tag Assistant Professional useful for music library management as well as business use.

"The latest version of MP3 Tag Assistant Professional provides for a wider range of music management needs," says Roman Kondratiev, CEO of AssistantTools.com . "Now, users can easily generate tags from filename strings and rename files with existing tag fields. Preset and custom templates help to split strings into separate tag fields, or, vice versa, paste them into name strings. Users will find that managing playlists became easier, and that now they can use auto replacement for file locations and other data on the list. As before MP3 Tag Assistant Professional supports various tags available in ID3v1 and ID3v2 formats, but now the database wizard can compare tags with the freedb.org database and supply the missing fields. We also extended supported file types to include WMA files. On the whole, users should find the new features a much greater help in managing the content of their music libraries."

However rich the assortment of its options is, MP3 Tag Assistant Professional remains simple in use. Partly it is due to its comfortable working panel with multiple tabs for each operation. A click on the tab brings forward the fields available for editing in each tag group. Supported tag fields include media player tags, commercial and publishing information, comments, lyrics, and URLs. The Selected Items window instantly shows the virtual image of tag changes. To save the changes to files, however, you should click on the Save button. The window also provides a multi-tab interface for one-click filtering. A click on an appropriate tab limits the selection to a single file extension or a tag format. The multi-frame interface with tab filters makes the functionality of the program readily available to the user of any competence.

Thanks to advanced selection and filtering options, MP3 Tag Assistant Professional can easily handle numerous music files. After marking files in the Selected Items window, you can generate and edit tags for all the selected files. To raise the efficiency of batch processing, the program offers a batch mode where users can also form a list of actions that need to be done and save the list as a profile. The batch mode should further facilitate the management of music file libraries.

The functionality introduced in MP3 Tag Assistant Professional, wide range of tags (up to 35), support for Unicode symbols, batch mode, intuitive interface, animated tutorials, and other advanced features make a robust, multipurpose tool for better management of music files.
