mp3 tag software..

+1 for mp3tag, tried loads of others but this one is definitely my fave.
Or MusicBrainz Picard...
Just as an extra thought.
I've just statred using winamp and IMO it's a lot better than windows media player. I have a library of about 7k tracks, and have added them all to one big playlist, listening through and deleting what I don't like.
Some of the music I've found I don't have names for, ie, it will just say " Track 2 - Unknown author ". In winamp you can select a track ( or many ), and select send to - Auto tag. This looks up online ( A bit like shazam for phones ), what track it is, and will automatically insert all of the tags for you.
Of course, if it's music you've actually created yourself, there won't be any tag, but for 99% of the tracks i've had as unknown and used it on, it's downloaded all the tags instantly for the music and actually edited the file, that way, if you run it in anything else such as windows media player or iTunes, it will know the track name, title, genre, year etc.
Hope this helps, just something I found useful and that came to mind when you asked this. It's better than entering it all yourself. Also, if you use good ripping software I believe the tags should actually already be on the music anyway. ( Windows media player for me downloads all the media info from the net and puts it on when I rip a CD )

Ooh, just tried MP3tag, it's really good. I can't manage to get it to get all my tags from the net though like winamp does, it just gives a list which most of the time it's not on, or says problem with file header or something. Hmm.
It's really good for re-naming files though

Tagscanner by far the best mp3 tagger I've used
It supports many different music formats.
Me too.
