mp3 update program

**cybermob2** · 04-23-2004, 05:08 PM

are there any programs out there that does what WMP9 does with regard to updating album info, categorizing album and artist folders, and renaming mp3 id3 tags and filenames?

WMP9 works alright, but i have to go through one by one and pick out the album its off of.

i have like 600 mp3s with varying file name formats, id3 tags, are just lumped in one folder... i'd like to get them organized w/o going through each mp3.

thanks.

this is pretty good, you can do mass renaming and look up id tag data online too.

Just be careful when you do use this, and make sure it does actually recognise all your music correctly.

I had to spend 2 weeks worth of evenings sorting out the mess that MusicBrainz made to my music files.

If everything is in some kind of structure (ie filenames are correct but no id3 tags, or the other way round, or they're in folders based on artist/album etc) then Tag&Rename is a damn good tool. I used that in the end to correct the problems MusicBrainz caused me.
