    It works only for that one opening of the video file. Once you close it, and open again, the tags will be back to what they were before.

    If you save the video to a playlist file (*.xspf), the tags will be saved (when you play that playlist again).

    VLC Media Player, I select My Music on the left-hand side to see all the music file on my PC.
    I then go through them one by one, updating the media information function in tools.
    I do a Ctrl I and select the “fingerprint” button to get the correct format of name and artist.
    I then select the matching identity and press the “Apply this identity to file”.
    Press “Save Metafile” and then press “Close”.
    Changes I make do show on the list on the screen
    I close the VLC program, reopen and my changes are reverted back to what it previously was.
    I have been plugging changes all day and now I am confused if I should have been saving this somewhere.
    I take when I make changes, in VLC , they do not update the File Explore files
    The help files are not very informative. HELP

    There is no Tool option to chose from on version 3.0.5 or 3.0.8 on a Mac.

    Your instructions worked fine. But after I put in the metadata that I wanted, how do I get this information into my MP3 player – which is plugged into my computer – and which is the source of the MP3 file that I changed the metadata on?

    Once saved, the metadata will be with the MP3 File
