Kid3: Tag3: RIFF INFO, is it possible to rename and move the tags in the column

Help
1

I wonder if it is possible to rename RIFF INFO tags, for example BEND, BERG, and choose where I would like to place the tags in the column.

Directly renaming tags is not possible. You could export all the tags using “Export CSV” from the file list context menu, then edit the exported CSV renaming the column titles as you like. Finally, you could remove the existing tags and import the edited CSV file using “Import CSV” from the file list context menu.

Hello @ufleisch, I tried what you wrote, but it doesn’t work.

I exported all my WAV RIFF INFO tags to a CSV file with Kid3.

File
Export…

The export worked fine. I changed some tag names and some data in Microsoft Excel, and I backed it up on my hard drive.

In the Kid3 program, in the left column, “Name”: I right-click on my file, which I named: export.csv A window appears with several command choices. I click: Import CSV

I see my CSV file on my hard drive. I click on it. A window opens, “Import CSV,” with information about the import. I click Close.

In the Kid3 program,

  • tag 3: RIFF INFO

Has no data changed?

Maybe there are some things I’m not doing correctly.

Please use the actions “Export CSV” and “Import CSV” from the file list context menu, not from the “File” menu. This context menu appears when you click on an item in the file list with the right mouse button.

Hello @ufleisch, I’ve spent a lot of time trying, but it doesn’t work.

First test:

I click: File and Export…

Source: Tag3 (Wav - RIFF INFO)

I click: Format
I tested with both commands: CSV more unquoted & I tested with CSV more quoted

I clicked: To file… To save my file: export.csv

Using Excel, I downloaded my export.csv file.

I modified the ISRC Tag data, I gave it the name Category
and I modified the PROGRAM data to AUDIO, I saved the export.csv file.

I click: File and Import

I click: From File/Clipboard…

Import form file/Clipboard

I chose the Format: CSV more unquoted & I tested with CSV more quoted

I click: Save Settings
I click: From File… To download my file: export.csv

I click: Close
I notice that I don’t have all the tags and the Tag Category (ISRC) is not listed.

2nd test:

I click: File and Export…
Source: Tag3 (Wav - RIFF INFO)

I click: Format
I ran some tests with the command: CSV more unquoted

I click: Save Settings

I modify the data directly in Header: tISRC for tISRC-Category
I click on source Tag2 and click again on Tag3 to see the change on the screen at the top of the ISRC-Category window.

I saved the export.csv file.
The change appears fine in my Excel program.

In the Kid3 program, I click: File and Import

I click: From File/Clipboard…

Import form file/Clipboard

The Format is CSV more unquoted

I click: From File… To download my file: export.csv

I click: Close
I notice again that I don’t have all the tags and the Tag Category (ISRC) is not listed.

There are two types of import/export functions. The one in the “File” menu, which is based on regular expressions, and the one in the file list context menu, which uses a QML script. You must use the functions from the file list context menu, right click on an item in the file list. There is no such thing like “CSV more quoted” or “From File/Clipboard” in these functions, you are using the wrong functions.

Hello @ufleisch, thanks for the info. I don’t know how to program a QML script with Kid3. I’m a new user.

I need your help. Can you explain to me precisely how to program each step with the Kid3 program
