Okay, I see what you mean although it's way too granular for my needs. Additional info like guest vocalists, etc. tends to go into the comments when I feel the need to record such things, which isn't often. Multiple genres might work for me on a band or an album level, but the notion of breaking individual tracks down that far befuddles my brain. But, each to their own and all that! :-) > >> Not sure about the custom tags point - what sort of thing do you mean? >> >> > E.g.

Well, I can see a file-type filter like k3b's might be handy and easytag doesn't have one as far as I can see. However, it does allow you to display a directory full of files, and then search for, say, mp3 in the filename. When that search returns all of the mp3s in the directory you can select them in the way you describe and then dismiss the search - the files in question remain highlighted within the file view pane.
