MP3 Library Update/Tagger

SUVputer · 07-23-2006, 03:39 AM

I'm looking for a software that could update and tag all my mp3 by adding Title/Album/Style and most importantly Album Art?

Do you any good one?

I've been using MusicBrainzTagger but it does not have album art and it keeps crashing

I use monkey media player, so long as it has the track name it usually gave me the right album and it does all the album art.

I use Tag & Rename and am very happy with it.
It allows you to pull album art from Amazon.com and will both save the image in a directory as well as embed it in the ID3 tag.

And a tagging program is only as good as the database it pulls information from.

With MonkeyMedia and Tag & Rename, you need to provide at least the album name, which is not always available

In addition, you should put the songs in order, and the amazon thing isn't really acurate.

Wish that musicbrainz wasn't crashing!

Oh wait!!!!! I said that....
Actually, I've had very good luck pulling information from Amazon, but I also try to download complete albums, too.

With T&R, if you use the freedb database, you may not need an album title at all, as it can cull from the serial number.
How this is generated, I have no idea, but it has given me some good results when Amazon doesn't work or there's an album that's older or a bootleg or somesuch.

Is it possible to enter nformation in a database (in case its missing) , that way the next person will have it ; ?

yes its possible
Monkey media will give you album details so long as you have about 75% of the tracks belonging to the album and the track names are there. Course the more info you have the less likely it is to make a mistake.

I heard that Itunes was doing a gr8 job.. but i didn't work out for me

ive tried most of these apps and am happiest witht eh super tagger or whatever included with musicmatch... its rather quick and makes it easy for me find tags, album art, and rename file easily using the current filename or the online database... or both

Yeah, musicmatch is usefull, but you should get the full version to benefit from the "Super Tag" feature

For your info, the new Windows Media Player 11 beta is very reliable and usefull... you should give it a try
