    Question id3 tag freedb lookup program

    hi guys, im currently using tag&rename 3.1.6, to organise my mp3 album collection. it works perfectly, only thing is i also have a hugh collection of mixed mp3 music, mostly without id3 tags, just artist and title information from the filename. i've done a few search's but cant find any programs that can utilize the artist and title of an mp3 track, and lookup using freedb/cddb the album/year/genre that the song belongs to. is there any such program that can do such a lookup and append this extra info to the id3 tag?
