TAG Editor

The Tag Editor allows viewing and editing of all the information VirtualDJ stores in its database for each track. It also provides id3Tag reading and saving features for the supported tracks (mp3, mp4, m4a, m4v, mov, f4v, ogg, ogm, flac, wav, wave, wma, wmv, avi, flv, mkv)

The Tag Editor is opened by right clicking a file (or batch of files for Batch Tagging) and selecting Tag Editor from the provided menu.

The top section of the Tag Editor offers the basic fields of the track. Most of them are populated from the filename, iD3tags or VirtualDJ. Artist, Title, Remix, and Album can all be altered by overwriting the selected field with different information. Pressing the button between the Artist and Title field will give the option to get Artist/Title from the filename (Tag Settings can be changed in Options). Album CoverArt can also be changed by clicking on the current CoverArt.

Click on the Album Cover Art to receive alternative CoverArt selections from various Sources (iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Google etc.) Click on any of the available selections to save it to the Tag of the track.
