I recommend MediaMonkey. Tried Brainz, and its rubbish. Told me i had a different album, then went on to tell me all the tracks were missing. Tried 10 different albums, but no joy. Mediamonkey gets all the id3 tag info from Amazon (Which one is your choice). Works a treat!
If its simple tagging from MP3 files with all the ID3 info intact, i would use MP3TagTools. Its v old, but it works vrilliantly. I use it if i have all the info i need.

I use ID3 tag it
Sounds like you didn't give it enough time. It takes a bit of working out how to use. But when you have it's so fast and easy.
Also there's the new picard version out. Which is even better.
Getting there, thanks a lot
So far.....
I want to have the filename as shown for track 1, how can I do that?
Not sure what the Tag row is showing?! ID3v1 ID3v2.3 etc
01. name etc

Point Media Player at them and setup the options (cant remember tabs) to organise according to rip settings, setup your rip settings and away it will go
I dont need to rip all off my mp3's again.
I would have thought in mp3tag I could set the program to copy each filename to how I want it?!
Use this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Tag-Editors/JJ-MP3-Renamer.shtml
It's better than anythign else I've tried.

Nooooo, just messed up big time. Selected 'rearrange music in rip folder, using rip settings' in WMP now all my music is all over the show. The file names have changed to what I want tho!
Gutted, tried system restore, no joy!

MP3tag dude.
It's fantastic. To get what you're wanting you need to tag the files as you've found.
Then once you have the tags done use the Right Click -> Convert : Tag to filename, and then you key in the mask you want e.g.
or for you:
That num thing above is to get 01 02 instead of 1, 2 . Don't worry you only need to type it once. It rememberes previously done masks, so you can do loads of different files. You can do directories by using a \ in the mask as well e.g.
To get the titles formatted nicely, use the Right Click, actions -> case convert and standard fixes.
Free db search works best if you select only 1 CD worth of tracks at a time, in the right order.
Amazon search works best if you do the same, and tag the album and or artist names before searching (not always possible)
If auto tag won't work either it's a really obscure album, or it's been made by copy/pasting tracks from various sources together (i.e a dodgy warez release)
edit
To go the other wayfrom your example the Filename to tag mask would be
Then run it thourgh the case ans standard action as above to fix spaces and caps
I tagged 100GB (45 days worth) of MP3 with it the other week. It took me about 3 nights.

Yer ive got a back-up but missing a few albums. Maybe 10tops. I will have a play around to see if I can get things back to how they where before I delete everything and resort to my back-ups.
