Looking For A Program That Does Id3 Tags

[even13flow]

I've tried a couple people I know here, but I guess I'll post it publically since my search has came up empty. I bought a 30 GB Ipod video, and I've been using Itunes (yuck) to upload the music to my ipod, however alot of my mp3s don't have all the necessary information to be sorted in my ipod (like album info, etc.) I'm looking for a program that will automatically do this for me, as well as imbed the album artwork with the music files. Anybody have any suggestions?

I've never been able to find a program that will do this for existing MP3s. When I bought my iPod, I had to go through 4000 songs manually and update all the tags. You will probably want to use iTunes for this, to make sure all the info shows up the way you want it. (I edited some tags in Windows Media Player and they didn't show up right on my iPod.)


If you're going to re-rip all your music from CDs, then iTunes will fill in all the artwork and ID3 information automatically. But as far as I know, that's the only way to do it automatically.

I'm not sure if I understood you in the right way, anyway I know a program to edit very fast the ID3 tags of each mp3.
That's call: "TagScanner" (if I don't remember bad).
Try it, it's simple.
Good luck

If I understand what you want the program to do, then I don't think there is any program. If the mp3 tags are blank then there is no identifying feature and hence programs can't assign info. If you do wish to re-rip some stuff, iTunes is actually pretty good for it. Even though the standard format is an apple/iTunes specific, it still works pretty well and saves space. Plus, as moof said, if the internet is one, it will get the info. Besides that, you are probably up for manually editing everything.

Well guys, I found something. Musicmatch Jukebox Plus looks up ID3 tags and automatically fills in all the information, as well as associates the album artwork with the mp3 files permenantly. You should definately check it out!

Been using this for years - I can't stand sloppy tagged/filenamed music.
Works great, it has a huge database.
