TVTaggr for this hidden meta-tags

November 19, 2007   1 Comments
When Apple introduced TV shows management to iTunes last year, there have been several attempts to build a solid tagging application, to properly name and identify tv shows. Apple responded giving ups TV Show Name, Episode, Episode ID, and Season number, but other tags are still missing, but appear in iTunes purchased shows. Enter TvTaggr.

TVTaggr is a new Leopard based atom tagging application, based on Atomic Parsley. This little application allows you to make batch changes to mv4 and mp4 files within iTunes. The main advantage however is having access to the hidden and seemingly non-editable meta data. Description, Network Name, Release Date, Movie/TV Ratings are all available to be edited. You can also access the 'Short Film' movie type used for Pixar Shorts and other short films.

EntertainMac has covered other AtomicParsley based movie taggers before in the past. TVTaggr blows these out of the water, with some of the quickest tagging times we've seen. The application is also more stable, and easier to use, when tagging multiple files.

Its great to have a utility to tag the tv shows not purchase from iTunes, but with only a little of metadata displayed in iTunes/FrontRow its a little difficult for us to spend the time to fully tag all of our TV Shows.
