I was just editing some tags in my music library, I have over 25,000 tracks.

I put the artist down as Gaslight Anthem, clicked the apply to all tracks button, and clicked ok.

The app greyed out for ever, during which time I realised that I had inadvertently selected my entire library. :shock:

I didn`t know The Gaslight Anthem had done so many tunes.

Hopefully whatever you're using has an undo feature and/or filenames follow the same pattern so you could recreate your tags. Otherwise... my sympathies.

Assuming that your music library is in some kind of sensible heirarchy (i.e. Artist/Album/Track.mp3) you can use EasyTag to fill the tags from the path pretty easily.

Failing that, I think you may be SOL unless you've got a complete backup of your library somewhere.

That sounds like a rolaid moment right there!
