Best Mp3 tagging software?

[scootermaster]

I did a search and didn't find anything. I've used MusicBrainz or whatever, but I've got a lot of stuff in my "incoming" folder, and it's time for some tag/renaming. Just wondering what you guys all used. A lot of this stuff doesn't have good file names, so it can't just copy from filename to tags (or the other way around).

Thanks!

i like media tagger, its free and can use the online DBs if needed

I'll check it out, but it doesn't look like it can get a directory full of ragged Mp3 files (some of which have good titles, some good tags, some both, and some neither) and sort it all out. Or at least come close to sorting it out. But I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Best? I don't know.

I use Mp3tag.
I'm not sure if it can sort everything out for you.

What I use. Very powerful, but if there is something better and freeware, I'd switch.

I tag them when I rip them with CDex.

Well, I'd recommend all of you check out MusicBrainz Tagger/Picard. I guess I'll stick with that. The difference (seemingly) is that it actually takes what I'm guessing is a hash of the song itself, so it can take a file like ? - ?.mp3 and determine that it's 65% similar to Stairway to Heaven. That comes in handy some times. So perhaps a pass through that, and then using one of the other programs or manual to clean up the stragglers.

Resurrecting a dead thread here... has something happened recently (past ... year?) to the online database? I used to search and get tons of results per album, now a lot of CDs aren't even listed, especially the less well-known stuff. I've tried tons of different taggers, same thing with all of them.
