Question:

How can I use the edit-tags function of dBpoweramp to modify the metadata of a single flac file? I can successfully edit the tags of multiple files in a folder, but not of a single file. I am using the following command from Windows File Explorer to edit the tags of a folder:

“`”C:\Program Files\dBpoweramp\GetPopupInfo.exe” –editfoldertags=”%1″“`

Is there a different command or option that I need to use for a single file?

How to edit the tags of a single flac file using dBpoweramp

dBpoweramp is a popular audio conversion software that also allows users to edit the metadata or tags of their audio files. Tags are information embedded in the audio file that describe various aspects of the file, such as the artist, album, genre, year, track number, etc. Editing tags can help users organize their music collection, add missing information, or correct errors.

One of the features of dBpoweramp is the ability to edit the tags of multiple files in a folder at once, using the command-line tool `GetPopupInfo.exe`. This tool can be invoked from Windows File Explorer by right-clicking on a folder and selecting the option “Edit Folder Tags”. This will open a window where users can modify the tags of all the files in the folder, or select specific files to edit.

However, some users may encounter a problem when they try to edit the tags of a single file using the same tool. If they right-click on a single flac file and select the option “Edit Tags”, they may get an error message saying “No files selected” or “No files found”. This is because the command-line tool expects a folder as an argument, not a file. So, how can users edit the tags of a single file using dBpoweramp?

There are two possible solutions to this problem:

The Batch Converter is another tool included in dBpoweramp that can convert audio files from one format to another, as well as edit their tags. Users can access the Batch Converter from Windows File Explorer by right-clicking on a file or a folder and selecting the option “Convert To”. This will open a window where users can choose the output format, the output folder, and the tag options. Users can also select multiple files or folders to convert or edit at once.

To edit the tags of a single flac file using the Batch Converter, users can follow these steps:

• Right-click on the flac file and select “Convert To”.
• In the Batch Converter window, choose “FLAC” as the output format. This will preserve the original quality of the file.
• In the same window, click on the “Edit Tag” button. This will open another window where users can modify the tags of the file.
• After editing the tags, click on “OK” to close the Edit Tag window, and then click on “Convert” to apply the changes. The file will be overwritten with the new tags.

Solution 2: Use the Music Converter

The Music Converter is the main interface of dBpoweramp that can convert and edit audio files. Users can access the Music Converter from Windows File Explorer by right-clicking on a file or a folder and selecting the option “dBpoweramp Music Converter”. This will open a window where users can choose the output format, the output folder, and the tag options. Users can also select multiple files or folders to convert or edit at once.

To edit the tags of a single flac file using the Music Converter, users can follow these steps:

• Right-click on the flac file and select “dBpoweramp Music Converter”.
• In the Music Converter window, choose “FLAC” as the output format. This will preserve the original quality of the file.
• In the same window, click on the “Edit ID-Tag” button. This will open another window where users can modify the tags of the file.
• After editing the tags, click on “OK” to close the Edit ID-Tag window, and then click on “Convert” to apply the changes. The file will be overwritten with the new tags.
