Hi,

Just bought an MP3 player and realised that all my MP3s on my hard drive are all over the place with regards to tags. Any software I have such as WMV or winamp only lets you edit the tags one song at a time.

E.g. To tag all songs from an album with the album name takes ages - and I have around 15gb of music!

So, looked at available tagging software and, for your information, the best I've found is Ultra Tag Editor (http://www.atelio.com/ultra-tag-editor/)
30 day trial but should be enough to sort out your collection

It's great. You can assign tags to multiple files at once, but crucially you can also create tags from the filenames.
E.g.
02 - Letters to You - Finch - 250ml.mp3

You can run that through delimiters and assign the variables to the tags.
So delimit by " - "

Track = %1
Title = %2
Artist = %3
Album = %4

Makes it a matter of seconds to correctly tag an entire set of albums provided they all have the same filename convention (i.e. probably ripped with the same software)

Highly recommended and I KNOW that some of you have lots and lots of music.
Hope it helps.

Top post, thanks for the link.

I need to sort out some of mines so the names appear in the car properly.

Cheers for the link, I've been meaning to get around to organising my music for a long long time, this will make it so much easier, again.. cheers

It might not be quite as good, but in iTunes you can rename/retag multiple items, and if you select to "Keep my Music folder organised" it'll rename and moves files accordingly.

yup i use the same in itunes. same for adding album art to multiple songs etc
