    No, I'm pretty sure there's no way to do this.

    Then you would be wrong. Just shift-select all the shows you want to batch edit the info for and use your shortcut for Get Info. Just did it in iTunes 7.3 and it worked fine and dandy

    Can you elaborate? Because whenever I bring up Get Info for multiple items, I get this:

    multipleitem.jpg

    instead of this:

    oneitem.jpg

    This is also in iTunes 7.3.

    I found a program called Lostify that would appear to do exactly what I need, but it's only for Macs. :(

    Edit: Alright, now I found a program called Atomic Parsley that let's me edit the metatags, but it works through a command prompt and I don't know how to do multiple items and more quickly than I could by doing it in iTunes...I'm going to edit the OP.

    Make a new text file.
    Copy and paste that line a million times, and edit the info on each line.
    Save it as .bat and run it. Might work.

    I'm also curious about this. I've moved a bunch of files around and I need to batch edit the location of some of my music.

    If you felt like installing perl, I could whip you up a script that would do all of that automatically.

    It would look like this:
    #!/usr/bin/perl

    $list = `ls`;
    $path = `pwd`;
    chomp($path);
    @list = split(/\n/,$list);

    foreach $list (@list){
    @data = split(/ - /,$list)
    $data[1] = s/$path//;
    $tvshowname = $data[1];
    @episeason = split(/x/,$data[2]);
    $season = $episeason[1];
    $episode = $episeason[2];
    $data[3] =~ s/\.mp4//;
    $epname = $data[3];
    `AtomicParsley.exe \""$pwd""$list"\' \-\-genre \"TV Shows\" \-\-stik \"TV Show\" \-\-TVShowName \""$tvshowname"\" \-\-TVEpisode \""$epname"\" \-\-TVEpisodeNum "$episode" \-\-TVSeason "$season"`;
    }

    for %%f in (%1\*.*) do AtomicParsley.exe "%%~ff" --genre "TV Shows" --stik "TV Show" --TVShowName "Supernatural"
    

    This will tag all files in a folder at once. You just have to put the batch file in the same directory as Atomic Parsley, and drag&drop the folder onto it. You'll still have to change the batch file for each set of videos, though.
