You could search google for a tool that can trawl your library and "pad out" the metadata header to give you enough room to move. As others have said, the only time mp3tag is slow is if it has to rewrite the entire file in order to include the metadata you're adding. All software would have the same problem and I'm sure many would take even longer - mp3tag is generally extremely fast processing tags and an overall fast performer.
What *may* work is to ensure mp3tag is configured as suggested in the slimdevices wiki and then to load your entire library, select all files, right click and select Tag Cut and let that run its course, and then when that'd done, right click again and select tag paste and let that run its course. You may need to let the Tag Paste operation run overnight as your entire library may need to be rewritten. If I'm not mistaken, mp3tag will rewrite the files, relocating the metadata header to the appropriate place and also leaving enough room for general tagging operations. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic...
