3.3 million people have
used calibre in the past month. Apparently those calibre users find calibre as useful as mp3tag users find mp3tag. And all (most) of those calibre users understand me.
From this I conclude that calibre is a good organizer and manager already.

I am sorry, that till now I have no answer: in a database managing software how to filter records by one of the record's parameter (value; "simple column" - in db meaning). And the help material, what is OK by your opinion, can not help in this.
|
Click any item in the tag browser -- it will filter by them.
That is what a search does.
One specific record, the last_modified record, appears to be providing a challenge, at least for minute/hourly granularity.
This is a legitimate point, one that I believe should be investigated by Kovid Goyal. Maybe we don't know how to do it (documentation bug), or maybe it is an implementation bug.

Tools: in both Foobar and Mp3tag: I can select any application with any parameters, and start it by right clicking on an item(s) (a music file, in this case). It is very powerful. Similar in case of Total Commander, too. I am, sure, you know about TC.

See the Open With plugin, or the (newer) builtin Open With feature. It's a shame you were so busy feeling upset at calibre's inferiority to ask if there was a way to do this.
Sorry, I have no idea what these are supposed to do, as I don't use mptag and none of the "preview"s seem to work.
But I know calibre can export books into filepaths defined by a template, and modify the metadata fields dynamically at the same time in the same way.
You have already had this pointed out.
Is this or is this not the same thing that mp3tag does, I honestly don't know.

You wrote: "You can modify the translations, see calibre : Get Involved."
I tried it. Five years ago. It was a thriller. This is the cause, why I wrote: "ability to modify translation on my own computer...". As in case of all my other applications: foobar, mp3tag, total commander... If I want to change a word in translation: 1 minute. 5 years ago I tried with calibre. After 3 days, without success, I gave it up.

Many people have been successful. Just contribute the modified files and you will see the translations by the next Friday.
Alternatively, you could start calibre from the command line in the directory with the translation file -- this is supposed to work. Have you tested it?
