I was wondering why it's not possible to chagen de metadata of mp3 files, but only aac files. Can someone explain me?

 

[gigapocket1]

does this still work with the latest iTunes?

Hello everyone - I realize this is an old (perhaps ancient even, by Internet standards) thread but is anyone aware of a working Windows solution? I was using the awesome Windows version provided by @schirkan.662283 (https://github.com/b-/itunes-match-tagger) but it recently stopped working for me.

I did reach out directly to schirkan regarding if a newer version was available for download from somewhere and they were gracious enough to respond - even if the answer was disappointingly no.

Thanks in advance for any guidance, much appreciated.
