AudioShell - tag music files in Windows Explorer
by Jason Clarke Oct 19th 2006
MP3 files have had tag properties forever, and it actually seems somewhat odd that they're not accessible in Windows Explorer, as part of the file properties pane. AudioShell fixes that, by exposing the audio file's id3 tags right within Windows Explorer where they can be viewed and updated. AudioShell supports editing file tags individually, or doing groups of files all at once. It adds a verbose tooltip window when mousing over audio files, and adds the ability to choose specific id3 tags to add as columns in Windows Explorer, so you can easily sort by them, or manipulate your files as needed.
AudioShell is free, and supports the following file formats:
- mp3 (all ID3 tag versions)
- wma, asf and wmv (including DRM protected files)
- Apple iTunes and iPod aac (m4a, m4b and m4p) and mp4 files
- ogg, flac (vorbis comment tags)
- mpc, mp+ (APE/APEv2 tags)
- monkey's audio (APE/APEv2 tags)
- wav pack (APE/APEv2 tags)
- optim frog (APE/APEv2 tags)
- wav (ID3v2 tag in 'tag ' RIFF chunk)

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
