AudioShell: quickly view and edit tracks’ tags from within Windows Explorer
Ever wanted to edit a track’s tags but weren’t bothered enough to launch your tag editor of choice? AudioShell to the rescue. This shell extension allows you to quickly view and edit your tracks’s tags from within Windows Explorer. Works with pretty much every current audio format out there:
- MP3 (all ID3v2 tag versions)
- WMA, ASF and WMV (including DRM protected files)
- Apple iTunes and iPod AAC (M4A and M4P) and MP4 files
- Ogg Vorbis, FLAC (vorbis comment tags)
- MPC , MP+ (APE/APEv2 tags)
- Monkey’s Audio (APE/APEv2 tags)
- Wav Pack (APE/APEv2 tags)
- Optim Frog (APE/APEv2 tags)
AudioShell adds tag editor and viewer tabs to the music files properties menu (you can edit tags file by file or by groups), detailed music files hints with tag and file information, and additional columns in the Explorer files list. Full Unicode support.
It takes Windows’ barebones support for tag viewing and editing to another level.
AudioShell (which we found out about from the L.A.B) is brought to you by the Tag&Rename guys (Softpointer), so you know it’s guaranteed to do its job. Works for Windows 2000/XP—filesize is about 1.3MB.
