ok so all of my mp3 filenames are organized, but after adding them to my itunes library, i just realized that most of their id3 tags are really messed up. is there any simple way to get everything in order that doesn't require me to go through every single one?

will the musicbrainz tagger just label my id3 tags or will it be changing my filenames?

edit: oh wait, i just read the description

I need something to remove all my ID3 tags.

doh, well im pretty sure its exactly what you need. you basically just queue up all your mp3s and it runs through and tries to identify them against its database and tag them appropriately. sometimes it isn't totally sure if it is correct so you have to individually do a few, but the process is sped up from what you would have to do otherwise

 

[yoshifumi]

yeah it actually seems to be working pretty well except for the fact that the server it checks them on is busy a lot

edit: shit, it changes my filenames

 

[yoshifumi]

oh wait i figured it out

oh man i am a moron

That actually works? Huh.

I just used Tag & Rename. Great fucking program. It integrates... or DID integrate with allmusic.com so you can grab tags for full albums in just a few seconds. Took me about a week to tag 3000 files. Maybe about 5-7 hours total.

what is tag and rename and where can i get it/read about it?

Not free though. Best tagging software I've ever used. Dunno if it has been updated since the allmusic.com redesign, so don't know if that still works. Because it was an insanely useful feature.

Edit: I guess the newest version uses amazon.com. It works with freedb too, but I uh... never got my songs directly from CD so it wasn't that useful.

whoa tag&rename is fucking awesome. i just may pay for this

I use tag&raname too. I don't know what I would have done without that sexy, sexy program.
