Nice.

+1 

This would be very useful; I'm going to try Vic's tool for now. 

EDIT: I tried Vic's tool, I do apricate his hard work but it is very hard to use. It shouldn't be a reason not to implement this feature request as native functionality

Is this still coming soon or not?

It's been in the "future plans" stage for ten+ years. lol

Coming soon to Emby 2040!

I hope the Emby development team continues to delay or completely abandon this idea. Emby is wonderful server software, not library software. Everyone who wants bulk editing of metadata should download MP3tag or a similar program and edit their media files to their heart's content, with the added benefit that if a user changes server software in the future, their data files will still reflect the edited metadata.

@nospotifyBulk editing is for metadata fields not accessible outside of Emby like Emby tags.

That may be your desire, and that would be fine, but there are many other people in this thread that are asking for more complete metadata editing. And given Emby's famously opaque dev process, I'm just putting in my vote that they not focus on any of this and instead, as @ebr noted a screen or two above, focus on other functionality.

I don't even think I would use this all that much. I just think it's funny/sad as heck that Devs keep saying it's in their "future plans" after ten years! If you can't get to something in that amount of time then just say why it has not happened and/or close the request. IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS!

Just because something that we'd like to do in the future hasn't made it to the top of the priorities list doesn't mean we should deny it ever happening.
