It seems to me I've read about the software here before, but for the life of me I haven't been able to pull it up in search.

Can anyone direct me to the thread or otherwise point me in the direction of a small software program that pulls MP3 Data from an online database to fill in the ID tags/correct improperly filled out ID tags on MP3's? I'm getting tired of going through and fixing all of the little errors/filling in data on each song I rip.


Thanks.

itunes can do it, foobar2k can do it...a bunch can.

iTunes doesn't fill in the tags. As far as I know all it does is check for album art. I've never had it fix or fill in info on any of the tags.

MusicBrainz MagicTagger

Has a huge database of accurate track information.. but occassionally mistags. Luckily for you it's easy to compare previous and 'after tagged' information before saving the tags.

tag and rename can, it pulls them from cddb and from amazon.

no...itunes can do it... check under advanced on the top menu- it says "get cd track names"

but you would have needed to import the cd using itunes.

iTunes draws the information from Gracenote CDDB, an excellent source of tags, but it isn't a stand alone tagger.

I use mp3tag. Its free, unlike tag&rename.

Thanks a bunch.

I don't use iTunes to rip my cd's, No LAME support there.
