I just inherited quite a few MP3s that have no ID3 information and I’d like to know if there is a program that will use the filename to create some tag information in conjunction with an online database that will include album information based on song title and artist (which is mostly all that is indicated in the filename).
Of course, I could do this manually, but it will be a time consuming process to do so. Any ideas?
I’ve had to do the opposite. Unfortunately, I can’t remember what program I used, and I’ve apparently uninstalled it. However, I’ve heard good things about Tag&Rename.
As long as the filenames are consistent you should have good luck converting the filenames to ID3 tags. Even if you can’t get something like Album Name to work, those are easy to add in batches. Song names are the most painful since every file has a different one.
This is what I ended up with. I really like the interface, learning curve is ridiculously low, and it shaved off tons of time on getting my collection way more organized. It’s cool to see the album covers on my View now.
