You probably noticed that it is possible to have additional columns with tag frames in the file list by right clicking on the header. However, only the standard tags (Title, ..., Genre) are available there. I could enhance this to allow unified tags, which would also include Composer and Album Artist. You could then sort by these fields. Note, however, that the file list is still a hierarchical directory tree, i.e. if you sort by a field, this will only sort for each directory. Therefore, this would only solve your issue if you have all your audiobooks in the same folder. A solution, which is a bit awkward, but which should work with the existing version, would be to use "Export CSV" from the file list context menu, import the exported CSV file into a spreadsheet, sort by Composer and/or Album Artist there, edit some values, save the changed CSV file and bring it back into Kid3 via "Import CSV" from the file list context menu. The purpose of this request is to make it faster to edit audiobooks from the same source where the data is the same between books that share the same author so 1. sort by author 2. select just that author (multiple audiobooks) 3. edit meta data for all audiobooks with the same author at once the key bit is being able to edit multiple files at the same time quickly when they share common data the same could be for audiobooks that share the same narrator or the same series |
