MetatOGGer is a handy tool for renaming audio files like Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and MP3. Its main job is to help you clean up your music collection by fixing file tags (like artist and album info) and organizing your folders. It can automatically pull tag info from your existing file names or folder paths. You can also use it to rename, copy, or move files based on their tags. The software is available in Chinese, has a clean design, and is very easy to learn. It’s flexible enough for power users but simple enough for beginners. A standout feature is its "Acoustic Fingerprint" technology—even if a file has no name or info at all, MetatOGGer can listen to the song and identify the artist and title for you. It can also search local databases or the web for info, find lyrics, download album covers, and delete unnecessary tags to keep your library tidy.
Key Features
1. MusicBrainz Database
MetatOGGer uses a massive database of over 1.5 million records from MusicBrainz to automatically identify your songs. This makes it super easy to find missing details like track numbers.
2. File & Folder Organization
The tool can read the names of your files or folders to fill in missing tags. Conversely, it can rename or move your files into a neat folder structure based on the tags you’ve saved.
3. Smart Audio Recognition (Acoustic Fingerprinting)
Even if your files are named "Unknown Track," MetatOGGer uses Acoustid technology to "listen" to the file and figure out what the song is and who sang it.
4. Add Lyrics and Album Art
It can automatically search Wikia.com for song lyrics and use archive.org to find album covers. You can save the covers directly inside the music file or in the song's folder.
5. Find Duplicate Songs
Using its "fingerprint" tech, the software can find duplicate songs in your library even if they are in different formats (like an MP3 vs. a FLAC) or have different file names.
6. Fast Tag Editing
You can easily add or delete any tags. For advanced users, it even supports C# scripting to quickly fix text, like changing all titles to uppercase or fixing typos.
