Features of ID3 Butler

Easy updating of ID3 V1 Tags

The key ID3 tags that all MP3 files have are supported by ID3 Butler. ID3 Butler focuses on the v1 tags to ensure that it is tagging all MP3 files so that ALL MP3 player devices will work with your files.

Tags that you can edit are:

• Artist
• Album
• Title
• Genre
• Track No

ID3Butler works on the principle of you 'registering' a MP3 collection and identifying the folder where it is stored. Then it will investigate that folder for MP3 files, and update them with the settings you define for that folder.

You can even set it so that it changes the Title of each MP3 file to replace the title with the Filename in Windows of the file and/or pre-pend the date that the file was created on to the front of the ID3 Title Tag. Therefore if you are using podcast aggregators such as Juice or iTunes to automatically grab new MP3 files for podcasts you are subscribed to, it can put the date that the MP3 file was created on in FRONT of the title, forcing your list of episodes to sort. You will never have difficulty finding that LATEST podcast episode that you just downloaded.

Automated, Unattended Operation

The major feature of ID3 Butler is its simple unattended operation. You set a schedule for when it should be run, setup your MP3 Collection & tag info, and then leave it to work for you automatically. Think of it as your ID3 Tag editing 'robot'. You can set its unattended operation to run hourly, daily or weekly. You define the frequency, and it just works.

Since the gathering of MP3 files using RSS fees and Podcasts can be automatic, you need the 'Buter' to update new MP3 files that are collected automatically as well. Otherwise you'll synchronize your MP3 player with content only to find all new content that has been automatically grabbed by your podcast aggregator hasn't had its tags updated, and you lose all the advantage of managing your tags correctly. You need something that runs automatically by itself so you can focus on the more important parts of your life - not being a slave to your ID3 tag editing before you can enjoy the MP3 files that you love.

You can run ID3Butler as a Windows service, or just start it up when you start Windows. Perfect for desktop and server operating systems alike.
