Howeya's

Got the Creative Zen Micro today and while moving my music over I noticed that my Tags were all over the place.. Any suggestions of an app and something that makes life easier?

Thanks

mp3 tag studio can tag id tags by their filename i use it all the time, and find it better than the musicbrainz program somebody will suggest

mp3tag - think the website is somthing obscure like mp3tag.de - easy and quick, does the obvious copy filename-tag or tag-filename that you'll be using most often and supports freedb too. And it's free, natch.

Tis a bit of a pain still..

I currently have my MP3s arranged by artist with Albums in sub-folders under the artist like below:

c:\
______\Music
_____________\Artist
_____________________\Album
_______________________________track number - trackname.mp3


Not all folders are arranged like this but quite alot are.. This is pissing me off no end..

man how many mp3's you got,

i had to do it with 4000 when i got my ipod (now gotten rid of and got iriver) and it took me ages. but i decided to do an artist a day, then i stuck the artist i done on the ipod and listened to them until i done another artist.

it was great because i rekindled my love for some of my songs

Psychicmp3 (FREEWARE) will load your folder as a cd, query the cddb, find the album and retag/rename all the mp3's for you.

Will only do 1 album at a time though.

This is useful but it's very buggy. It crashed 5 times in half an hour when I used it.

Incredibly powerful tagging software, well worth figuring out if you have a large music collection.

Tag&Rename will tag folders for you from FreeDB, saving the need to type everything.

Tag&Rename or MP3TagStudio (might be more than 1 word) both allow retagging based on directory names and suchlike, and might be of more use.

Windows media player 9 has an advanced tag editor built in. You can use it to change details in the tags of batches of MP3s. I don't know if it's available in MP10 but it works fine for me.
