QuickTag V1.0 is now available for download (it's FREE, and open-source).
This is a small Mac application I wrote that runs alongside iTunes to help with the tedious process of organizing my DJ library.
PS: Thank you to those that beta-tested the application. Your feedback was very helpful!
What does it do?
QuickTag allows you to create a custom list of your own Genres, Categories, and Attributes for music in your collection. You play a track in iTunes, listen to it, and then in QuickTag select the appropriate genre for the track, a star rating, a category, and tick off however many attributes you would like.
Click "Apply", and the tags are updated for the track in iTunes (QuickTag uses the Genre and Comments ID3 tag fields).
Example Usage:
Lets say you listen to a track you downloaded from Beatport. The track will probably only have the genre ID3 tag set, lets say it's set to "Prog House".
You may prefer to use the full name "Progressive House" instead of the abbreviated version, or maybe you think it's really "Tech House" instead, so you click off one of those genres from your custom genre list.
You can then rate the track as you see fit, it it 5-star awesome, or 3-star solid?
Then you pick a category: Maybe you have categories for "main room", "lounge", or maybe you use category for sub-genres. Whatever you like, you can select 1 of 8 categories.
You can then specify some track attributes. Perhaps you want to tag tracks that have vocals? Click off vocal. Is the track dark or deep? Click off those attributes. You can configure up to 18 track attributes.
The tags are written with delimiters (which are configurable), and each tag item uses a different delimiter (or you can configure them all to be the same, it's up to you).
What are the delimiters for? Let's say you create a smart-playlist in iTunes for searching for music you tagged with QuickTag as "House", you would search for the value "(House)", instead of just "House". The delimiters make your searches more specific.
Give it a try!
