Tag Normalizer

Tag Normalizer

This flow element is designed to normalize the metadata tags within an audio file. When run, it will remove all existing tags from the working file, keeping only the specific tags selected in the configuration.


Use Common

When enabled, the system will search all other audio files in the same folder as the input library file to determine the tag values. The most common value found for each selected tag will be used for normalization.

For example, if there are 10 files in the folder, and 6 share the same value for Album while 4 have a different value, the value from the 6 common files will be used.

Use Library File

If enabled, the element will use the tags from the original library file as the source of the values before the normalization process begins. If disabled, tags are read directly from the current working file.

Note: Regardless of this setting, all tag changes and removal of non-selected tags are always applied to the working file.

Tags To Keep

Select the specific tags you wish to retain in the updated file. Any tag not checked or not included in the list below will be automatically removed from the output file.
