Few things I'd like to suggest.

- Could you add a sorting option to make songs/albums without album art appear on top?

- In batch edit, the track number should be masked. Not really an issue since it only edits the fields that are selected

- You should change the colour of the check marks. Blue gets camouflaged a bit :p

- A light theme perhaps?:)
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
I think we'll take a look adding more themes and changing the look of things a bit later for now we're focusing on adding features and dealing with bugs.

As for sorting we will definitely be adding an option to do so soon.

I haven't used the source page for finding song data and have a question:

Will this retrieve non-latin, most particularly (and as an example) Russian, song data? Often sites don't have the song data if the artist isn't popular in the U.S. or it inserts transliterated data or sometimes the app/program inserts non-unicode data and the text displays incorrectly (the main problem).
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
The application uses MusicBrainz as a source for the metadata, any artist there should be accessible through the application.
[Android Apps and Games] Волк:
So, I checked the website and they had a few artists I searched for in both Russian and translit, but your app doesn't seem to play nice with Russian text. See the pictures. On the one with the semicolon (thanks windows) the artist name doesn't show up when,I go to edit it. On another file it just gives me "????????". This is usually caused by the text encoding not supporting the Cyrillic encoding for the Russian text.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Thanks for pointing this out, I'll take a look at allowing different encoding types when saving.
[Android Apps and Games] Волк:
Well, the issue is also in reading, I have a German group with some.special letters which aren't displaying right. So far the app has failed on all auto tags I have tried to do. Is it possible to get more verbose errors, versus just saying that it failed? (Eg, ’failed: no match found').
[Android Apps and Games] unconfuse:
This is a really nice app! Thank you! The audio fingerprinting works well. I think users may benefit from a quick look up feature. Say we have a partial tag (artist, song) or filename. That info could be used instead of uploading for fingerprinting. Saving on data usage is a plus. Possibly a choice of album and artwork as well. Throw that in a pro version and I'd buy it! Thanks again for all the hard work. Much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Setting encoding has been added on the latest update.
[Android Apps and Games] Волк:

Awesome app.. Would love to see an option to move all android database album covers to the media files themselves..

Doing this manually is quite an effort.
[Android Apps and Games] Волк:
Sorry I took longer than what I thought I would, been busy with work.

Your app has definately improved, but I am experiencing problems where it says it fetched metadata and cover art, but it doesn't get applied.

Is there a log file somewhere I can get you?
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
There aren't any log files, do you mean that the data isnt being written to the actual file or the changes aren't shown in music players after being saved?

Also which version of android are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] Волк:
The data isn't being written. I also have an issue with the combination of "ée" I get Chinese instead of that. (I can give you a screen shot if you like) If it helps, the data was fetched and applied using your app.

I have a nexus 5, running 4.4.2 (been too busy to update my ROM).
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Can you try to edit the same files manually and let me know if you get any errors.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
This has been added in the latest update when editing multiple files, press 'copy to file' when 'android database art' is selected and you'll be given an option to either copy the file in the android data base on the selected file or for each file.

This is a good app...i been looking for something like this forever. poweramp is my main music player, but i couldnt find a way to automatically tag songs correct. one thing i would like to see is to get different options..for example, i song could be from a mix cd (like Now!) and i would prefer it be on the artist's cd information along with cover art...i hope that makes sense

also, i just got 6 failures in a row with songs i know that are popular enough, i was able to get them with shazaam, soundhound, and google's now method...i dont know if any of these have APIs that you can use to just do a sample, but it would really help...not to mention part of the song is in the filename as well
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Hello,

Thanks for the feedback and ideas. I've thought about implementing different options on results after auto tagging but with the current system I think it would be too slow. However I should soon be switching over to a different API that will make this possible. Its something I'll take a look at then.

As for the failures, sometimes popular songs do fail. Shazam, Soundhound and Google do not open their API's for public use but as mentioned earlier when we switch over to different API the failure rate should decrease.

Currently if you want to select different albums you can search through MusicBrainz in the application when editing manually by pressing the up and down arrows towards the right of the album art image. There you can search artist names which will return a list of albums which will allow you to download the metadata from tracks within the album and apply it to any one of your files.
[Android Apps and Games] Tylorw1:
Amazing App. You did an excellent job on it and you should make a free/pro version because I would definitely buy it. To bypass the KitKat limitation you could try adding experimental root features.

[Android Apps and Games] grinder777:
Hey, just found this app and it is really nice for Auto tagging and organizing! Thanks a lot for that.

But I have problems with usability of manual editing:

This ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags are really confusing me... Also when I edited one tag (artist) and go to the next (album) my keyboard will disapear and I'm not able to write. This happens with Android keyboard as well as Smart keyboard. The only way is to edit a ID3v1 tag, then edit a ID3v2 tag then edit another v1, v2 after and so on... real mad ;)

If that could be solved it would be perfect if I change a v1 tag the v2 tag would change automatically...

Anyway, a real nice app. Thanx again
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Hello

Sorry for the late reply.

ID3v1 is a less advanced version of ID3v2 it has many restrictions and is pretty much obsolete but it is still included in Music Tagger to give users the option of completely removing the ID3v1 tag from their files or keeping them. Also note that you can long press on the save button to copy information from ID3v1 to ID3v2 and vice versa

When editing you should edit the ID3v2 tag primarily because that is what Android and most music players read although some music players do read ID3v1.

I'll look into the issue with the keyboard disappearing.

Thanks for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
The issue with the disappearing keyboard has been fixed in the latest update.
[Android Apps and Games] grinder777:

[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Could you explain the permissions a bit? I use Audio Tagger and it only uses two basic permissions. Your app looks good though. Keep it up :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Sure, these are all the permissions used:

android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - for modifying or creating files on external storage

android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE - for modifying or creating files on internal storage

android.permission.INTERNET - to access the internet... operations like auto tagging, searching for cover art and lyrics.... etc.

android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - This permission is used to determine whether the device has access to a network so network access can be checked before starting any operations that use the internet start.

android.permission.READ_SETTINGS - This is used to read the current screen rotation setting to prevent the screen from rotating in some activities. This is needed because whilst the progress dialog is visible rotation is disabled and is only re-enabled if it was initially enabled before the progress dialog was visible.

android.permission.READ_SECURE_SETTINGS - This permission is needed for the same reason as the permission listed above.

android.permission.VIBRATE - This permission is used to manipulate the vibration motors on the device after long pressing a button.

I hope that explains everything well enough.

[MENTION=5157855]Joshafc[/MENTION]: thanks for the nice app, works great :good:

One request: would it be possible to include the ID3 Tag "Album Artist"? As I have several albums with different artists (e.g. soundtracks), I want to tag each artist individually as well as the overall album artist, e.g. "Various Artists".
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Hello,

The "Album Artist" field is available for ID3v2. After you've selected a file to edit swipe right to the second tab, there you'll see the "Album Artist" field. As Seen Here

Keep in mind that while some music players do read ID3v1 Android its self does not read those tags so music players that read from Androids Media Store Database will not reflect any changes when modifying ID3v1 . It would be best always modify ID3v2 then copy changes made to ID3v1 by long pressing the save button on the ID3v2 tab.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Great, thanks. Didn't see that second tab for ID3v2 :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
There are other tabs for Lyrics and Album Art as well if you keep swiping right.

[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Looks like a cool app so far. I'm kicking myself for not looking for a 'folder exclude' option, as it's scanning my audiobooks. I'm not sure if those can be tagged by MusicBrainz (they're mp3 files of someone reading a book) and in any case I have Poweramp set to ignore them entirely. They look/act fine in my audiobook player. Looking around the app, I'm not really seeing how to do this.

It's failing to identify pretty much everything I've thrown at it, and I'm throwing popular songs at it. I mean, it doesn't know Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz. The artist and title (and year) tags are given, but not the album name, track number, album art, etc. There were a few others it didn't know.

I'm using a phone without a menu button, but the 3-dot menu doesn't always appear. Not sure if it should.
[Android Apps and Games] teR_lester:
will surely try this editor and will give a feedback about it. thanks mate!
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Hello,

Currently there are no way to exclude files or folders, perhaps I'll add this feature in one next updates. At the moment a database of around 30 million songs is being used to Identify files, if it does fail then most of the time its because the file isn't in the database. I do have plans to implement other audio Identification technologies soon to improve things.

The 3 dot menu appears when there is an overflow menu, most of the pages in the application do have a 3 dot menu. However the 'Edit by Artists', 'Help' and all the MusicBrainz pages do not have a 3 dot menus. Does this correlate with what you're experiencing?
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
30 million songs? Well, I looked up the MusicBrainz site, and the song in question is in the database.

Generally, these songs have the artist/band name and song title in the filename, such as Artist - Title or Title (Artist). But the metadata could be whatever, I really don't know.

Excluding files/folders probably isn't the best way. Maybe when the app first starts up, it could offer a file manager to let you select the root folder for your music, or at least type it in, though getting the actual and not symlinked folder might be something the casual Android user isn't comfortable working with.

I don't see a MusicBrainz page in your app. Is there supposed to be one? Do I need to log in before it will identify anything for me?

For what it's worth, I've used MusicBrainz's own desktop app, Picard, on my computer, and it didn't work there, either. So I don't blame your app, or at least not completely. I don't think what the video on your app's Google Play page claims your app does can be made to work, at least not without errors. I mean I have tried a few things and I've never seen it work on my files. I would very much be interested in knowing what those who can make it work, are doing differently. I think if there were a way to share your music directory online, and have someone, or a bot, come in and tag everything, and if everything was done right, I think that could be a service worth paying something for (I don't know how much), especially for older guys like me who have been collecting digital music since mp3 was a thing. Almost 20 years now.

SoundHound and Shazam can identify songs via sound print (I think that's what it's called). But that would take too much time, and I'm not sure they can be used by other apps. Would be interesting, albeit time consuming, if they could. But maybe work in the background, when the phone is charging or something.

Also: Does it matter if I'm running Lollipop? Android 5.0 restored write access to the external SD card. I know that was a big problem with KitKat and having to use a patch to restore write access. But that's no longer an issue, though I'm not sure if Lollipop introduced new ways of reading from or writing to the SD card that might be interfering with your scanner.
[Android Apps and Games] androidTitan:
Great Stuff, i've always wanted an app like this. most of the ones found on the Google playstore are very crappy
[Android Apps and Games] p32929:
Cool app ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Hello,

The Identification system in Music Tagger doesn't use MusicBrainz to identify the song it only uses MusicBrainz to download metadata once the file has been identified so on some occasions it is possible to find a song on MusicBrainz that Music Tagger was unable to Identify. MusicBrainz do have their own Audio Identification tagging application on PC, not all enteries in the MusicBrainz database have an audio finger print attached to them so it would make sense if you were using their application and some songs were left un-tagged even though it is in the MusicBrainz database.

As far as I know with Lollipop I think you have to allow apps to write to your external storage. I can't be too sure but its what I've read. I don't have a Lollipop device so I can't test it at the moment. Although the failures you are describing sounds like what has been described to me by KitKat users with their music stored on external storage.

Hello guys!

Does anybody knows if this app automatically adds album art cover if the song only has title and artist.

For example, Coldplay - Scientist but doens't id3 tag doesn't provide name of the album. Does the app manages to add the cover anyway?

I would really appreciate if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction, even with another app.

Thanks a lot!
