Dr. Tag is exactly what I want!! I just added the music files and it pimp slapped my Manowar directory into tip top shape, works 100% with WMP :)

Thanks GJ


Unfortunately for me, I don't have 30 bucks to buy it. so I need to keep looking :'(

Once installed, click on Playlist at the top left, Add Folders. Browse to your folder(s) and add them. Then, on the lower half, click on the Multi-Tagger tab. Under the fields, click on the portion(s) of the ID3 tag you want updated. Then, click on Update All Tags on the bottom left. It will auto-update all of your ID3 tags so that they display properly in MP3 players, so on and so forth. Be careful with that program though. If you don't take the time to learn it, you can screw up your MP3's. It's a powerful program, and was simple for me to learn, but may not be for everyone.

I actually am using MusicBrainz Picard right now. I tested it on my not-so-loved music (AC/DC - Flick of the switch) and I'm putting it on my mp3 player and it works like a charm :)

I'm gonna go artist by artist though, not do all of my musics at once.

MusicBrainz was ok for a few specific files or for an entire album but when you have 2000+ various mp3s that need proper ID3 tags, it is a nightmare. Trying the multi-tagger when I get home after my long ass day of work

It's not hard at all, you just don't know how to use it.

The multi-tagger worked great! didn't quite get all the years and genres right but the rest came out perfect!

1400 MP3s done in 45 seconds

For tagging my music, I use either MediaMonkey or Windows Media Player(do all my music CD ripping with this one). They both work good enough for me.

multi tagger won't let me put all my music into it. I got about 2000 errors saying "Thread creation error: Not enough storage is available to process this command"

Hmmm, once when I had to reimage a whole RAID array with the OS, music and everything, I didn't have all the songs updated. About 50Gb worth. Multi-tagger got all of them except one, and only took about 1.5 minutes.

So I'm gonna go over previously un-looked-at-because-dr-tag-worked-so-well MusicBrainz and i'm gonna hope it works :)

Ouch, I should have included the fact that Dr. Tag Plus! wasn't shareware. Sorry about that bud. =(

So I figured that iTunes ONLY tags them (brilliant!) when you convert the songs, so I tried converting all of my music in one go.....

iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close. Please tell microsoft about this.

So I'm gonna try and go thru all 16000 of my songs and ditch the ones that I don't listen to/don't want (I have a couple audiobooks, that should clean up about 1000 of them. lol book of mormon)

But i've still gotta go thru it manually cuz iTunes sucks.

=(
