Unless I'm mistaken poweramp just let you edit the meta tags manually but it doesn't actually connect to a database ...

I feel you are mistaken.

I run my files through MusicBrainz Picard to get the file naming and meta data correct.

I use iTunes, so there you go!

So Microsoft have stopped supporting metadata for Windows media player so I've been shopping around for a replacement and whilst I've seen, downloaded and tried dozens of programs including winamp iTunes mp3tag VLC etc NONE of them support automatic metadata tagging desire claims

Windows media player was brilliant, all you had to do was to right click on an album add album info and it would just simply add it, the other thing was is that it was brilliant for editing tags which it still does but I just drag an unknown artist and drop it on another would tag all those songs with that artist, likewise drag unknown tracks onto an album and it would automatically tag it with the album, it was just so easy, I didn't realise how easy it was until I try to use other ones which quite frankly I totally crap, including iTunes

so my question is is there anything out there as good as Windows media player for tagging before I buy myself a new Windows 10 computer just so that a I can use Windows media player tagging on Windows 10 for one more year before it expires

Microsoft have stopped supporting meta tagging on Windows media player before Windows 10before I buy myself a Windows 10 laptop just use Windows media player tagging can anyone confirm that it still works just right-click on any album and choose update info should search for tagging information if anyone can confirm that I would be grateful before I spent 200 quid
