Tag tracks in iTunes with Quicksilver
Authored by: tjarrett on Sep 02, '08 08:18:24AM

Looking at the source, it looks like the script will insert tags into the "Grouping" field. While this will work for most tracks, it's not a good idea on classical tracks, where "Grouping" usually captures the overall piece name and the track title is the movement title.

For this and a jillion other reasons, I wish Apple or the MP3 tagging folks would go ahead and define a new tags frame for music file metadata. It would make it much easier to do tagging without repurposing/misusing existing fields.

You're right -- it's a shame there isn't an explicit tag field.

It might be better to put tags in the Comments field, but Groupings features auto-complete, which is handy for some uses. If anyone wants a version of the script that puts tags in the Comments field or that gives you the option to specify one or the other easily, email me at junk[ at ]veritys[ . ]com.
