Description Nate Graham 2019-04-12 14:22:11 UTC
Elisa from git master.

I can use Elisa to view metadata, but not edit it. My most common use case for this is changing/correcting the genre of an album. I prefer to use Genre as the base level of organization (I do Genre > Artist > Album) but most music I buy comes tagged with the wrong genre, so I often need to change it.

Not being able to edit metadata in Elisa means I have to do this with 3rd-party software like Picard, but this is made more difficult than necessary due to the lack of Bug 406471. If this feature were implemented, I wouldn't feel the need for Bug 406471 so strongly.

Alternatively, provide a button/function/feature that will open the given song/album/whatever in an external tag editing app. This is what Lollypop does and it works fine.
Comment 2 Matthieu Gallien 2019-04-18 15:21:15 UTC
Given how much KFileMetaData has improved with regard to the write capability, it would feel more integrated to edit directly from Elisa interface.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-04-18 18:25:19 UTC
That would be quite lovely.
