Music metadata editing

I'd like to have basic metadata editor in Dopamine. E.g. drag & drop albom onto album or artist onto artist or songs onto album/artist to merge them and update actual files metadata.

I mean, even Windows Media Player could do it, with some limitations. Sometimes music has inconsistent or corrupted parameters so I need to fix it.

@eugeneko Please check the song right-click menu and let me know which improvements you'd like:

@digimezzo I'd like to see more large-scale feature. I mean, manual typing and even copy-pasting metadata is last resort that could be done even in Explorer (with some pain).

Something like this, but at all the levels (drop artists onto artists, albums onto albums, songs onto artists and albums, maybe genres too):

"could be done even in Explorer"

Here's an idea, go write your own software!

@huntardy It would be harder than just use Windows Media Player. Doesn't it sound like a room for improvement when user can do something easily in ugly default player but cannot do the same thing in one of the best players (I actually came here from some top-10)?

BTW there's one problem why I haven't used WMP yet. WMP is case-insensitive and Dopamine is case-sensitive during filtering. WMP just see things differently :sad:

@eugeneko Thanks for the suggestions. Drag and drop is something that can be done. I'll look into it during Dopamine 2.0 development.

@digimezzo, thank you. Thanks for the player, too.
