Try metaMatic!

[Lintendo]

A friend of mine is developing this small tool, which is very helpful especially when you are looking for cover artworks for more non-commercial music. So give it a try :mellow:

metaMatic ist a small piece of software to help you managing your music metadata and artwork.

 

because it's written in pure java you can use it on every OS with an installed runtime > 1.5, on OS X you'll need Leopard and Java 1.6.

 

Start:

 

usually you can double-click on metamatic.jar, if that doesn't work you have to type 'java -jar metamatic.jar' in the dist-directory

 

Usage:

 

Just drag'n drop your music directories in upper left area.You'll see your tracks and their metafields.

 

You can mark all tracks to see if they've all the same album & artist set.If not you'll see 'multiple',just click in the field and edit the value.

 

To set an artwork for you album just click on one of the images in the bottom-panel,if it's empty check your artist/album fields.

 

implemented features:

 

- recursive loading of album-directories

 

- read & display common metafields & artwork

 

- edit common metafields & multiple edit for album/artist

 

- auto query artwork-provider for selected album

 

- load multiple artworks on multiple album-entries in one directory

 

- write all changes to filesystem after editing is done

 

upcoming features:

 

- progress & loading bars

 

- ogg & mp4/aac artwork-support

 

- gui design and better element descriptions

 

- selection for used artwork-provider

 

- dynamic load of artwork providers (reflection or config-file)

If you get this error in OS X you have to go to Applications -> Utilities -> Java -> Java settings and change the java runtime settings.

Java SE 6 (64-Bit) has to be the first entry in the list. that should fix it
