RAVENCUB  I have to agree that this is a cool program but it is devastatingly buggy. I ripped many DVDs to M4V and after tagging them with MetaX, none of the movies had a sound track. That's a lot of wasted time.

GEX2501  It used download info from Amazon but that doesn't work anymore.   
(Version 2.4.6)

YELOCAB  I have been using MetaX for a while, it's good, but there are some bugs that can really ruin your day if you run into them. Several times I have entered info for a bunch of TV shows (15 at a time) and then have been unable to write them to the files. Since there is no way to way to save the data without writing it directly to the file I lost the data and had to reenter it all. I have reported this, and made a suggestion about this, but the app hasn't been updated in abut a year.

SUNBURN  I've been re-ripping a lot of movies now with HandBrake 0.9.3 and I have to say I have a love/hate relationship with MetaX. I love that it provides a GUI for tagging and all, but the little glitches in this app drive me nuts. What glitches, you ask? Here are my primary gripes:

(1) Does not support dragging of files onto the app/dock icon properly. If MetaX is already open, dragging a file onto the icon does NOTHING. So, for MetaX to work right, it has to be already quit. Hunh?

(2) Doesn't support standard keyboard commands. In particular, command-W (to close the window) does NOTHING. The only way to close the window is to quit the app completely. Feels like a Windows app.

(3) Columns are not re-sizeable. This is particularly annoying for the left-hand column which displays search results. You just have to hope the name of the movie is less than about 12 characters or you won't be able to see it. Especially fun for sequels.

(4) TagChimp searching is horrible. Stuff you can find in two seconds on the TagChimp Web site cannot be found with MetaX. Let's say you want to tag one of the LOTR movies. To get the hit, you have to search for "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended) (Part 1)" to get the right hit. But if you have "Lord of the Rings The Two Towers (Extended) (Part 1)" (the only difference is no colon), you get... nothing. Hi, the 1980s called, they want their search query nitpicky UI back.

(5) Hand entry is god-awful slow if you need to do it, especially for chapter names. You have to go hand-to-mouse to double-click the next chapter, then hand-to-keyboard back to type it, then hand-to-mouse to double-click... and so on. How about some keyboard-based navigation?

On the other hand, I *LOVE* MetaX because there's no good alternative, and tagging with this is still one hell of a lot easier than tagging with the command line. And you simply have to love the price! So in that sense, I shouldn't complain. However, if they'd fix these, I'd happily donate $10...

CLARUSAD  Is there a similar app for Tiger ?  
(Version 2.4.4)

EMT1  This program is dreadfully slow. When it's "working" in the background it causes pauses and freezes across your machine. Good concept - poorly executed.  
(Version 2.3.7.4)

THUNDERCLAP82  Seems to tag faster than previous versions.  
(Version 2.3.7.4)

FARDILHA  I'm aware that there are a lot of meta taggers based on Atomic Parsley, and I think that I tried most of them.

This one is my favorite by far.

The easy to use, the integration with Amazon and Handbrake's option to send the files straight to here make it a pleasure to use.

To bad that they cannot use IMDB directly to populate the tags, but that's not their fault, it's related with IMDB's terms of use.

Thank you for making this great tool.

THUNDERCLAP82  I've only been using this program for a short time but so far it does what it's suppose to do and does it well. It offers a lot more features than I need for tagging movies and television shows but I can't complain about that. It's good that the software offers options for different users.

My only little complaint (and it is minor) is modifying certain information such as release date. Something like "2002-01-25T06:00:00Z" I try to edit down to "2002-01-25" yet for some reason it won't save that way and reverts back to the original. Again, just a minor issue.

Overall this software makes labeling my digitized media a lot easier.

SOMA  Every version since 2.3.0 now *requires* OSX 10.5 (Leopard)? Aw, that's just mean. Sure hope one of the other metadata taggers does the job. This is really disappointing.
