I need an ID3 tag editor. iTunes fails... =/

[Zambini]

I did all my music in iTunes to id3 v2.4, but most of them don't appear in my Windows Media Player (for my Zen).

My music is organized via Folders in artists.
ie:
R:\Music\Blind Guardian\A Night At The Opera\01 Precious Jerusalem 1.mp3
or
R:\Music\Billy Murray\Over There.mp3


So is there any good program that can id3 these automatically? I've got a buttload of music I don't want to go thru all of it manually...

I use Media Monkey.

MusicBrainz will do the job. ;D

MusicBrainz is a community music metadatabase that attempts to create a comprehensive music information site. You can use the MusicBrainz data either by browsing this web site, or you can access the data from a client program — for example, a CD player program can use MusicBrainz to identify CDs and provide information about the CD, about the artist or about related information. You can also use the MusicBrainz Tagger to automatically identify and clean up the metadata tags in your digital music collections. Find out more in the introduction.

It's a very big community

I tried media monkey before but just something about it that I just didn't like

[Zambini]

I'm trying mp3 tagger. Hopefully it'll do what I want =)

[screwballl]

I tried the musicbrainz and it did absolutely nothing with my existing mp3s other than look at them and send them to the "Unclustered Files" folder... this one is getting uninstalled as it only seems to work with CDs which my regular EAC can look up freedb info and set the proper ID3 tags

I use Multi-Tagger. Simple, free, and easy interface. It will even auto update all of your MP3 tags and album info.

I've used Dr. Tag Plus! for years. It's extremely robust, with lot's of features to make tagging MP3's as pain free as possible.

[Zambini]

I tried multi tagger, couldn't figure it out at all

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 :'(



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