Four, Detailed Installation Guide

Please follow the steps below to complete the installation before using Tagr. The entire process is intuitive and requires no complex operations.

4.1 Download and Preparation

First, download the installation package of Tagr v5.9.1 from the “LoveMAC” page. It is recommended to use Safari or Chrome browsers for downloading.

After downloading, you will find a “Tagr_5.9.1.dmg” disk image file in the “Downloads” folder.

Double-click this .dmg file, and the system will automatically mount and open a new Finder window.

In this window, you will typically find the Tagr application icon and a shortcut to the “Applications” folder.

4.2 Drag and Drop Installation

This is the classic installation method for Mac. Drag the Tagr application icon to the “Applications” folder.

The system will prompt you to enter the administrator password to confirm the operation. After entering the password, click “OK” to proceed.

Wait a few seconds, and after the file copy is completed, Tagr will be installed on your Mac.

At this point, you can pop open the .dmg disk image and delete the downloaded .dmg file to save space.

4.3 First Boot

Open the “Launchpad”, find the Tagr icon and click to start. Since it is installed from an internet source, you may encounter a security prompt the first time you open it.

A dialog box will pop up, asking “Do you want to open this application from an internet source?”

Click the “Open” button. If you cannot open it normally, go to “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” > “General”, and click the “Open” button.

After opening, Tagr will request permission to access the music folder. Click “Allow” to start organizing your music library.

五、常见问题FAQ

We have compiled the most common questions and their answers to help you quickly resolve any doubts.

5.1 Q: Does Tagr support certain audio formats?

A: Tagr supports a wide range of mainstream audio formats, including MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, FLAC, and AIFF. It can handle both compressed and lossless formats perfectly.

5.2 Q: How can I batch modify the artist information of songs?

A: In the main interface of Tagr, select all the songs you want to modify by holding down the Cmd key and clicking or using Shift to select them.

Then, in the right-hand tag editing panel, directly modify the content of the “Artist” field. After making the changes, click the “Save” button to apply them to all selected files at once.

5.3 Q: Why can’t I connect to the Discogs database?

A: Connecting to Discogs requires a stable network environment. Check your network connection to ensure it is working properly.

Additionally, Discogs has a limit on the frequency of API calls. If you request too many calls in a short period, you may be temporarily banned. Wait a moment and try again, which usually resolves the issue.

5.4 Q: Can I customize the file naming rules?

A: Yes, you can. Go to Tagr’s “Preferences” > “File Naming” options.

Here, you can use various tag placeholders (such as %artist%, %title%, %album%) to build the naming format you want. For example, setting the format to “%artist% – %album% – %track% – %title%” will generate file names like “周杰伦 – 范特西 – 01 – 爱在西元前.mp3”.

5.5 Q: How can I add album covers to songs?

A: Select one or multiple songs, and in the right-hand editing panel, find the “Cover” area.

You can drag an image to this area or click the “Choose” button to select from your local folder. Tagr will automatically embed the cover into the audio file.

It is recommended to use high-resolution images (500×500 pixels or more) for better display.

5.6 Q: After editing metadata, will the original files be modified?

A: Yes, Tagr will directly modify the source file’s metadata. However, it is recommended to back up important music files before making changes.

Tagr also provides a “Undo” function, allowing you to immediately undo any changes (Cmd + Z).

5.7 Q: Can I run on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs?

A: Yes, it can. Tagr v5.9.1 is natively compatible with Apple chips and runs at an extremely high efficiency, fully compatible with macOS Ventura and later versions.

5.8 Q: How can I export tag information to Excel?

A: In the Tagr menu bar, choose “File” > “Export Tags”. In the pop-up window, select the “Tab-Separated Values (TSV)” format.

After saving the file, you can directly open it with Excel or Numbers for editing. After editing, you can use the “Import Tags” function to write the modified data back to the music files.

Mastering the following shortcuts can significantly enhance your efficiency when using Tagr and macOS.

Seven, Tips and Real-World Cases

Looking at the feature list isn’t enough. Below, I’ll share a few real-world scenarios to help you make the most of Tagr.

7.1 Tip One: One-Click Uniform Album Format

Many albums downloaded from different sources have files and tag formats that vary wildly. For example, “01-Title.mp3”, “Title_01.mp3”, and so on.

Select the entire album folder and open it in Tagr. Use the “Extract Tags from File Names” feature, setting up the extraction mode.

For instance, if the file name is “01 – Title.mp3”, you can set the mode to “%track% – %title%”. Tagr will automatically recognize the number as the track number and the text as the title.

Then, in the “File Naming” settings, set the format to “%track%. %title%”, and save. The album’s naming will be organized and tidy.

7.2 Tip Two: Batch Add BPM Information

For DJs or music enthusiasts, BPM (beats per minute) is an important reference for mixing. Tagr v5.9.1 now supports BPM.

If you have BPM analysis data from a tool like Mixed In Key, you can export it as a TSV file.

Select the corresponding songs, and use the “Import Tags” feature to write the BPM data from the TSV file into the BPM field of the music.

Now, you can sort and filter your library in iTunes or Rekordbox by BPM.

7.3 Tip Three: Fix Confused “Album Artist” Field

Occasionally, in compilations (Various Artists), the “Album Artist” field might be incorrectly set to a single artist’s name.

Select all the songs in the compilation, and in the edit panel, set the “Album Artist” field to “Various Artists”. Ensure that each song’s “Artist” field retains the correct individual name. This way, the compilation will be correctly classified in music players.

This tip is especially useful for users with large compilations, saving hours of organizing time.

7.4 Tip Four: Use Discogs to Fill in Album Information

Suppose you have an old album, knowing only the album name and artist, but lacking details like year, genre, and cover.

Select these songs, and click the menu bar’s “Tags” > “Get Tags from Discogs”. Tagr will search based on the existing information.

After the search, a list of matching album entries will be displayed. Choose the correct album, and Tagr will automatically download and fill in the year, genre, and cover data.

Note that Discogs data is extensive but occasionally contains errors. It’s recommended to manually verify the data before applying it.

Eight, Summary and Recommendations

Tagr for Mac is a professional tool designed specifically for music enthusiasts and collectors. It addresses the pain point of disorganized music libraries.

From basic tag editing to advanced batch processing and database synchronization, Tagr provides a comprehensive solution.

Especially with the native support for Apple Silicon in v5.9.1, it runs smoothly on the latest Mac devices.

No matter whether you want to organize a few hundred songs or manage a vast library of tens of thousands, Tagr can handle it.
