GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 588558
View and modify ID3 Tags of imported songs before put them into catalogue
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:33:26 UTC
Now, when you import a media, banshee reads the id3tag and put the song into catalogue... So, if you, for exemple, want to import many songs that may have wrong id3tags, you have to check these tags with a id3tag editor like EasyTag before importing them into banshee (because, if you import a lot of songs without or with wrong artist or song name tags into banshee, you have to search them after in the catalog and it may be difficult if you have a lot of songs). So a dialog that permit to modify tags of imported songs before putting them into the catalogue may be a great feature, that will make life easier for any user. Hoping you like my idea, I apologize for my bad english :)

I don't mean auto-tagging from an internet database, but manual tagging to check and eventually modify tags before cataloging them...
Another idea on how to do this currently with banshee : I have a "Recently added" smart playlist that shows tracks added to my library in the past month (or week, or day). So after importing tracks, I select this "Recently added" smart playlist, and have a look a the tracks to check their metadata.
That's a good workaround and infact i'm using it now :) However an integrated feature may be a better solution. I would help doing this, but unfortunatly i can't write code. Maybe a mockup can help?

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
