I dragged the album's folder into Mp3tag, again the files remained on the N20, and edited everything I needed to edit. I navigated to the N20 through finder, the same way I copied files to the music server initially. That's it, all the tags were updated/added to the files on my NAS and Roon automatically changed Various Artists to David Chesky and used my high resolution art. I added all the tags I needed and high resolution album art through Mp3tag, clicked Save changes to files.

I opened Mp3tag, and just dragged the album's tracks from my NAS to the Mp3tag window, through macOS finder. without file tags because no information is available about this release from its online sources. Roon has no clue who, what, when, where, etc. Roon did an OK job of naming the albums from the folder structure and extracting names from the files names, but the album was listed under Various Artists. The Chesky album's files had absolutely zero tags, but I didn't notice this until I had copied them to my QNAP NAS and Aurender N20. I used Mp3tag on both releases and it couldn't be happier about the experience. This week I received the physical CD for Congo Blue, a direct to disc recording from Disk Union in Japan, and a download for David Chesky's forthcoming Songs for a Broken World album.

Mp3tag is magical for everyone else, especially those using UPnP/DLNA servers and high end music servers. Audiophiles using apps such as JRiver or Audirvana on their Mac, already have built-in tag editing. I think a light will illuminate in many people's minds as they see how easy and beneficial the app really is. I've tested the app several times on several platforms and really love how well it works and it's simplicity. MP3 is just one of many file formats that Mp3tag can edit. The app really has nothing to do with MP3 files.

Released today from indie software developer Florian Heidenreich, is the new Mp3tag for Mac app. Yes, tags are even important in Roon, an app that for the most part doesn't use tags. In fact, it's still critical on every platform I use, and I use almost all of them from Aurender, Lumin, Naim, Roon, and many more. However, we're far from anything resembling the extinction of tag editing. I thought I'd have a flying car at the turn of the century, and I thought editing file tags would be a thing of the past by now. Editing file tags is still a thing in 2021.
