what’s your plan ?
using mp3tag or something ?

unfortunately musicbrainz service is too inacurrate.

Proper taggin is something I’ve wanted for aaages….

I’ve got used to using Tag&Rename –

My process is :

1. Get all the tags right based on an FreeDB or Amazon search (auto from T&R)
2. Once tags are right, do a mass rename (auto from T&R)

The tag part unfortunately is per album or group of and is dependent on good rips (FreeDB search is done by length of track and number of I think) and Amazon search allows downloading and embedding of album art). I sometimes need to dive in and manually tag but generally T&R is really good at it.

Any new rip I do or get now I do this process, it’s just all the old stuff I’ve got of which some is not well ripped, thats just takes a bit more time.

It can be painful but very satisfying to see more and more of my music being properly tagged and named 🙂
