I've got about 600 songs here I would like to finally make proper ID3 tags for, so I can see their proper info in Winamp's Media Library. Editing them one by one is, well, out of the question. Any software to do mass-editing? Their filenames are already correct to the title of the track, I just need to c&p that somehow into the Title field of the .mp3 - without doing them one by one, of course.

ID3-TagIT works really well and is easy to use - and its Free!

http://www.id3-tagit.de/

I have used it to take correct file names and put in ID3 rev1 and 2 tag information on many mp3s.

You can read the filenames in large batches ( as long as they are in about the same format ) - like <Artist> - <Album> - <Track> - <Title>.mp3 ( you determine the order) and it will automatically place the names into the ID3 fields you want.

there is an ID3 tag module for perl, you might be able to write some scripts to do things you need.

Just got mp3tag, thanks, I'd been looking for something that could plug filenames into id3s. Now is there anything that'll retag/rename wmas?

MP3Tag should work on WMA files as well. :)

Cool thanks, hadn't gotten a chance to check yet.

I have been looking for something like this for awhile for the times when I convert a cassette over to mp3's. Thanks!

Very nice program. I'm so glad I read this thread, made my life so much easier. I have been looking for something like this for a long time (I'm a neat freak).

This is one of the first threads I read as a lurker. It helped id3tag my MP3 collection.

Cant believe its that old....
