"Does what I need - Insert Title"
Version: AudioShell 1.3.5
Pros
I have not explored all the features. However, the extension in Win explorer to insert/change the song Title works like a charm. I have not tried the Group feature yet. After installing, I restarted Windows Explorer and navigated to an MP3 folder, listed in Details, sorted by Title. Then I right click on the ones I want to change the title and enter it under Audioshell Tag Editor. This is great. Now when I load them unto my iPad - they won't show up as Track01, Track 02, etc.
Cons
None so far.

"EXCELLENT! Perhaps a limitation or two"
Version: AudioShell 1.3.5
Pros
See below.
Cons
See below.
Summary
AudioShell meets the need in between MP3 Collector and Music Collector (by collectorz.com).
PROS:
1. It does what it was designed to do, and more! Not only does it allow you to add album art to certain audio files, but to certain video files as well!
2. Results can be seen immediately. Since you're already in Windows Explorer, once AudioShell has finished doing its work, you may see the results immediately in the tags in Windows Explorer.
CONS:
1. It will not allow you to use any photos that have "Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery" in the "Program Name" tag of the photo, for album art.
2. While you may select as many files at a time as you wish and right click on them and choose "Properties" to edit any tag(s) in all the files, you may NOT go down that same list and customize any tag(s) for certain files; in other words, whatever tag(s) you edit, that change will be applied to the whole batch. Whereas, in programs such as MP3 Collector (Collectorz.com), you may load a group of files to be edited and then edit each one individually, as the program automatically brings up the next file to be edited (based on the list you choose). With AudioShell, on the other hand, you must right-click each file (or each batch of files) and choose "Properties", which can be a bit tedious if, for example, you want to edit each successive track number on a CD, from 1-10. To do that in AudioShell, you must right click on Track #1, choose "Properties," edit the track number, click OK, then do that for each of the other 9 tracks. To do the same thing in MP3 Collector, you simply load all 10 tracks, then edit the first track, hit ALT-N (for Next track in the list), and now you'd be editing the second track, and so on. For that procedure, MP3 Collector would be far more efficient. But MP3 Collector doesn't allow you to add album art. Music Collector (also by collectorz.com) does allow you to add album art to mp3s, but it's a bit more complicated, as you must first add your mp3s to a database.
3. You must click "OK" with your mouse; you may not hit "Enter" to select "OK."
4. Once you click "OK" to edit your files, you must wait until it is finished before you may start to edit the tags of any other files. This process can take a while, (5-10 minutes or more, depending on how many and the size of your files), which means you must wait that long before choosing another batch of files to edit. -

"won't activate / turn on"
Version: AudioShell 1.3.5
Pros
Sound good in concept
Cons
Won't install.
Summary
Tried unsuccessfully for ~2 hours to get this to install properly -- so that it actually "turns on". I'm a reasonably savvy home PC user, so this was no bone-headed fizzle. Something in this code is balking. Oh well.

Version: AudioShell 1.3.5
Pros

"Neat & useful"
Version: AudioShell 1.3.5
Pros
Handy little extension that enables you to view & add further info to your music files in Explorer & which will automatically sync with MS Media Player as well. I have found it useful for adding lyrics & comments also.
Cons
Whilst it's handy to be able to add info in Explorer, if you use MS Media Player it's just as easy to use instead.
