Tag Merging
mitul:
I would like an option in Option window that would allow me to keep the tags from the song which has more ID3v2 tags.
It would automate little bit so if I choose to select that option then compare the number of ID3 tags available in the song that I am keeping vs the songs that I am deleting. If one of the song that I am deleting has more ID3 tags then I would want to overwrite the tags in the song that I am keeping and then marge (fill the missing ID3 tags) tags from rest of the songs.
For example if I have 4 songs in a group and I am keeping #1 and #3 has most number of ID3 tags (ID3 frames) then I would want to overwrite the ID3 tags on #1 from #3 and then look in to #2 and #4 and see if they have any other ID3 tag that is not present in #1.
I am currently doing this using the program I wrote in VB.Net and using TagLib# library (github.com/mono/taglib-sharp).
Admin:
Yes, we implement such feature in future.

Hi,
just a proposal on this matter.
Add an additional column in the "results: audio" view which is indicating the "master tag" of a group. By default this should be empty. If one of the files of a group is selected then on the processing the others will receive the tags from this file (even if it is about to be deleted).

I need Similarity, when the other files are of higher bitrate or (better in general) from my base files (Group A),
to suggest me to AutoReplace the worst Files, merging all the Tags and Custom Tags of the old files to the new ones, so that I don't have any problems when using my media manager (JRiver) again. I need my playlists intact.
I have also created some custom tags to my songs. I need to be able to keep them too in the newly added songs.
Thanks

For now I will move the new-better quality "duplicated" files to another folder, until I will be able to merge the tags and really replace my old songs in that way.
I also can't just delete my old files because I have over 300 hundred playlists that will be unusable, unless the deleted files will be replaced by a shortcut to the new file.
The thing is that if the program can do those two things, I will be able to really delete-replace the duplicates of my database.
Until then Similarity just helps me find the duplicated files, but not really remove the worst duplicated files.
Thank you for all the effort you have put in this software. I believe that soon it will be really handy to all of us!
