This Action is added to the Action List by pressing the "Add the Action" button
() on the Action List toolbar and selecting the "Edit Winamp tags" from the drop-down menu. Action can also be added from the main menu of the program.

The Action can be added to the Action List only once.

This window will be added to Working Panel:



The data in input fields are added according to the chosen methods of reading and saving tags.

You can use all buttons on the Working Panel toolbar.

Tips:
1. All operations with items in the Selection List are performed virtually, i.e. without automatically saving the changes to the files on your disk. For saving of changes you should perform Actions. It can be done with the button on the Main toolbar.
2. Add the Action "Save the changes" any time when you want to save the made changes while Performing Actions. For example, if you add some tag editing Actions, it will be absolutely logical to add this Action after them. After that you can add Actions generating playlists, etc.
3. If you want to get the cleared/modified data back, the data from file(s) can be read for the second time. It can be done with the button on the Working Panel toolbar.
