 How to use this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, here's an example of how to use this programm:

1. Click 'Add files...' and select some MP3 files.
2. Edit the title and artist name etc.
3. When one tag (i.e. the artist-tag) is the same for all files, just enter it once and
   click on the "All"-button on the left side of the tag.
4. When you're done click on "Write all tags to all files" and all the tags will be written to all the files.
5. To rename all the mp3-files to a name like "[01] - Beangrowers - Astroboy.mp3" for 
   example click on "Rename all files".
6. You can also change the new name settings:  The file name consists of 'normal' characters and certain 
   parameters.  You can find a list of all parameters when you click on the "Info:  name parameters"-combo-box.
   "My file %t.mp3"  will create a file that's named "My file " plus the title of the song and the ending ".mp3".
   Keep in mind that the file names may not contain characters such as *, \, : etc.
