Anything to fill in all album tags automatically?

I downloaded all 38 "Now!" albums, and I fixed up all the artist and track name tags and purged out the album and track number information, because I'd rather have "Firework - Teenage Dream" instead of "Firework - Now 34" or whatever.

 

Is there something I can use to just select all the files and press only a couple settings and then let my computer fill in all the tags while I run some errands for a couple hours and return back to find all my albums (and, as a perk, album art :D) filled in? I've looked at some but they require I actively interact with the software while it runs, like highlighing all the songs in a single album, then searching for the album, then me confirming. For 1000 new songs on probably 500-750 different albums, I'd like to avoid doing this.

 

I've been googling for a couple hours on this.

I believe Rinse does that, for free too.

 

Tune Up is another option, I believe it isnt free though.

Both of them are limited to just 50-100 fixes before it asks for payment

 

Thanks though

True, im pretty OCD about my music collection so I do most things manually. I guess I never used Rinse enough to hit the tag cap

Ha, me too. I might use freedb through mp3tag if it looks like an overall improvement in tagging but I only use it as a guide and still go over each track manually. I've become pretty good with windows alt codes from fixing all the accented letters.

 

It's boring but I somehow love it.

 

You could take the pre-emtive of approach of downloading from a better source with proper tagging but this does limit your selection.
