what to do with MP3s

[pontifex]

I have a ton of mp3s that need renamed into artist - cd - song format.
I also need to have the ID3 tags entered with that info.
how do i do this without doing it manually?

it will take forever to do it manually.

I coulda sworn we had this exact issue in Software several times already.

I know somebody over there posted links to one decent freeware program.

I use this one

It's pretty intuitive, and you can create tags from file names and vice-versa.
I ususally open a folder at a time and correct away.

i have that prog.
i found out how to do the tags but can it rename the files also?

I had written my own program to do this using MP3LIB

 

[jersiq]

Convert

tag--- Filename (it's usually the first one when you right click the selection.)

So I'll highlight my selection, right click, go to the convert sub-menu, and click on the TAG----Filename option.

I haven't figure most of the options yet, but for my basic renaming use it works well

i figured that out but now my MP3s are fvcked up because tagged my files wrong and then i told it to rename them...now the songs have the wrong title and id3 tags. stupid fvcking software...

and here i thought it was working great...a bunch of mp3s are fvcked up now
