[QUOTE="Audio.Trench, post: 1125413, member: 13155"] Are you talking about the actual file-type being MP3, or just the ID3 tags that you tag each file with? If you're talking about re-encoding to MP3, you click "Edit" > "Preferences" and under the General tab, click "Import Settings" and select the MP3 encoder (adjust settings to taste). Click okay, and then select all of your files, and right/control-click and select "Create MP3" version. This will re-encode everything to MP3, and make a new copy of each file, so you'll have a lot of duplicates. On the flip-side, if you're talking about the tags, simply right/control-click the files you want to edit the tags and click "Get Info" and edit to your taste under the "Info" tab. You can mass-edit, for instance, an entire album, you can group-edit the artist/album name/genre, etc.. Hope this helps! EDIT: I just realized you were actually talking about the tags (I was tired when I replied, hahaha). Anyways, the ID3 tags should go with the file.. For example, I edit my ID3 tags in iTunes/Winamp, and when I use the files in different media players, they work/show up normally. I'd imagine the media player within Linux (haven't used it in a while), would show them as well if they were edited elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
