I'd like to edit the tags of my Mp3s, but the
checkboxes for all the tags except Year, Genre and
Comments are greyed out (for both ID3v1.1 and ID3v2.x),
so I am unable to do so.

    The tag fields will be greyed out only if "Use Filename Format"
    or "Use Directory Format" is checked. Cos it makes no sense
    entering anything in those fields which are to be obtained
    from a filename or directory name. If you want to directly edit
    all tag fields of a mp3, simply uncheck both "Use Filename
    Format" and "Use Directory Format" checkboxes, all fields will
    be enabled now. See help file for more info...John G.

    I see, thanks. I did check the help, but I must have just
    skiped over the part that started with "note:" (probably
    BECAUSE it started "note:" =P).

    Have you ever considered mimicking the interface of the
    commercial program Tag&Rename? I found it to be very
    intuitive and didn't ever need to read the help file.

    Copy T&R and get sued huh? hmm..funny i never did like its
    interface. The one GUI issue in MTT i have noticed with users
    is that the combination of mass tagging & custom format
    tagging in one view sees to confuse people initially but they
    do get a hang of it..MTT started out with a minimalist GUI
    with the aim of keeping out redundant GUI code. Specifically
    what would u like in ur dream GUI?
