mp3 info
OK so I get my laptop back and somehow it is working (the guy didnt touch it for months). Now I have recently got a iPod and I wanna put my music on it. The only problem is that I have always used the file name itself to sort my music on winamp but on your iPod it changes the filename completly and just uses the ID3 tag.
Is there a program that will auto update your ID3 tag with the proper band name and song title from the file name so I dont have to go through about 1000 songs manually?

you could use getID3 and check if the song has id3 tags already...if not, you could explode the filename by '-' (assuming your songs are all 'coded' that way), then dump the artist and track name into the id3 tags automatically...
TagScanner is what I use.
Zortam Mp3 Media Studio lets me specify the format of the filenames I want using different templates
Something like that for example
Also check out http://musicbrainz.org/ for fixing id3 tags
Code: Select all
%1 = track number
%2 = track name
%3 = album
%4 = artist
artist name/album name/01 - name.mp3
%4/%3/%1 - %2.mp3Something like that for example

There's loads of tools to tag and rename tiles. One of which being Tag&Rename 
EDIT | I meant files... OK?

Ok worked well with the tags but almost none of my songs has a album specified and iTunes consideres it a seperate song if the album is set for 1 of them and not the other. Is there somthing that will search some website and automatically get the album the song is from and put that in? That may be asking a lot but it would be fantastic.
check out http://www.freedb.org too if you wanna go with my solution
