If it loads the correct information, just pressing the OK button will do after you’ve matched the tags with the right tracks (pressing the match length/duration/title buttons), but I seem to have some problems loading the tags from Discologs, all the track lengths show, but not the titles etc. So maybe choosing another server to download the tags from will work for you. Of course, after you’ve imported the tags (so after you’ve pressed OK), you must save the final result by pressing the save button in the upper left corner.

I hope this helps you.

Call me stupid, but I am not able to tag files from discologs.

1. I select all files I want to tag in upper left area
2. File > Import from Discologs … opens two windows
3. In “Discologs” windows I choose the right album and press Close which downloads correct information to “Import” window

and than I am stuck. What to do next to save imported info to tags?

Just use iTunes. It’s better than any other app for tagging.

Woha, I really searched for it, but couldn’t find it (although I was a bit surprised to find a link to google images in the settings…). Your small guide really helps ^_^, gonna change my story right away.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the article!

Album Art works like this:
– The complicated way: Select the files, Tag 2/Add, Picture, OK, Import, select image file, OK.
– The easier way: Select the files, drop the image file into Kid3.
– The easiest way: Select the files, right mouse button, Google Images (or Amazon, …), the configured browser (Settings/User Actions/Web browser) opens, drop an image from the browser into Kid3.

Image drag’n'drop works only with some browsers (I tested it with Firefox on Windows and Safari on Mac OS X). In other browsers, you have to drop the image first on the desktop, and then you can drop the resulting image file into Kid3.
