Edit the Titles of the Provided Tracks in a Text Editor - edit-titles

This command let you edit the titles of the provided tracks (sorted by disc/track number) in a text file. This is usable mainly when you need to edit multiple titles which have identical parts (e.g. work: movement in classical music). Editing all the titles in an advanced text editor let’s you easily copy/paste and compare sections between titles.

Important:

When editing the titles do not add, remove or change the order of the lines!
The provided audio tracks should be sequential (after sorting). Don’t just pick the files you want to edit, it’s better to provide all the files in the album.

Editing Modes

You have the following modes for editing the titles file:

Saving the titles to a file for editing in an external tool

This option (default when editor command is not configured) will save the titles to a text file in the current working directory and let you edit it in a text editor of your choice outside the terminal. After you’re done editing, press Enter to let the tool know that you’re done editing the file. It will read and save the titles to the corresponding tracks.

Editing the titles in a configured command

This option will launch the configured editor and let you edit the titles while waiting for you to finish editing. When you leave the editor it will read the saved file and save the new titles.

Example Usage
