Make batch cover finder available
Make it possible to download automatically the cover art of all the albums in the list.
Great additional features to this would be :
- the possibility of chosing the minimum definition of the cover
- a pop up window to chose the right cover when there is a dispute
between cover arts
- the possibility to chose different databases : "discogs, last.fm, rateyourmusic, amazon, etc...)37 votes -

Import tags from a text file
I truly believe that this is the BEST tag editor except that it is missing two features that have kept me from using it full time. Metatogger needs an easy way to import tags from a text file. I use MP3Tag because it has that feature and it is a real time saver. It would also be nice if you supported the tagging of AAC files as well...
Thanks

plugin that fetches earliest recording date per-track, ideal for greatest-hits albums
I'm testing a lot of music taggers in Windows and one thing they all lack is to add the original date of a recording.
When playing a greatest hits album of the 80s which was put on the market in 2005 you have a problem because suddenly all these 80s song have a date of 2005. see https://community.metabrainz.org/t/how-to-get-picard-writing-the-original-release-date-year-of-a-recording/355388
Luckily, I found a tagger (beets) that searches for the original date, but it is a command line driven approach.
I hope Metatogger can implement what they cooked togheter.
Their solution is found on https://github.com/tweitzel/beets-recordingdate14 votes -
Let the user the possibilty to move the "CoverCache" and "MusicBrainz.db" to another location
Hello,
Can you make a option to move these big folders/files in another disk? I tried a shortcut (.ink) but this don't work.
Thanks you!!13 votesMetatogger uses standard “Local Application Data” folder for the user. You can move this folder in Windows but that will affect all programs and not only Metatogger.

There is no portable version of Metatogger because some important checks are performed on the system at install time, such as verifying software prerequisites, downloaded and installed if necessary (just the Visual C ++ Runtime in the latest version).
2021 update : with .NET self-contained deployment option, the system software requirements to use Metatogger are becoming less and less constraining.
Furthermore, the configuration file is stored in the user’s home directory, and not in the folder from which the software is launched. These files are only deleted when the software is uninstalled.
Using Metatogger in portable mode would not offer an optimal user experience.

Optimize acoustic fingerprint identification with files with long introduction
I have noticed that music files with long introduction (starting) have less chances to be identified... is there a way to make the search based on a longer part of the music file?
6 votesMetatogger uses the Acoustid service for acoustic fingerprinting. Only the first 120 seconds of the song is used for computing the fingerprint.
You can read more info about the Acoustid server at:

Fulfill automatically the year of publication
When finding the year of several song, it can be hard:
- In automatically way, only possible with the database (should be also with acoustical fingerprint)
- The database find album's years, and not publication's year of the songs (I have to find the oldest album which contains my song to estimate the publication, and this manually!)
- With database, too many operation has to be made manually (selection of songs only one by one, research, finding the oldest album in my case, fulfill, remove then the album name because I just want the year, save)
Solution:
- Add year to coustic fingerprint…6 votes -
Add filter by 'count' of a group
My collection is a mix of albums and singles (1-4 tracks). For an artist, I'd like to arrange the albums in a folder per album, but the singles in together in one folder. To achieve this, it would be helpful to identify 'albums' that have 4 or less tracks. I can group by album, which shows the count of tracks per group, so I'd like to be able to filter by the count.
Great bit of software, thanks!

Improve saving speed, parallelize and/or provide pausing.
I have my music collection on a SAMBA share. The saving speed of Metatogger is painfully slow. I did some semi-manual edit and I am now running save all for more than 12 h (not yet finished). The througbut is currently only 1,5 MBit, even on my wifi I should at least get 10x that speed( I could run some benchmarks against other tools if unconfirmed)
If speed is unfixable. It would be great if you could provide batch possibilities. The perfect thing would be provide an open source retagging script that works on the saved workspace or any other…
