Hi Guys,
Going thru my MP3s today I noticed that some albums that I have ripped from CD I have not got either the artist name. This is a obviously an issue because when I search for songs by an artist even though I have the track in the library it doesn't return in a search.
Is there some magical software that will analyse an MP3 collection and pull the correct details from the internet and then rename them accordingly?
I like my tracks labelled as follows:
Track Name - Artist Name.mp3
Or have I gotta get all my old CD's out the loft and re-rip them this time taking care to do it properly!??
Many thanks
Phil

AFAIK MediaMonkey allows for auto-tagging. MusicBee (my choice for local music DB management) also has auto-tagging but it didn't work well enough for me (though my music library is very messy and thus hard to tag).
Basically any application that advertises auto-tagging should get you in the right direction.
EDIT: If the artist is always in the filename, use mp3tag and use a filter to extract the artist name information and write it to the artist ID3 tag. This is probably a lot easier, quicker and more effective.

You could try discogs which is in the tag to the right of the filename at the bottom. There's a small menu there that you click on with a selection to update your tags from the discogs website, obviously you need an internet connection. However, I will say it usually works using the Artist and Title for the search, if they are blank it's unlikely to work. You can also highlight a bunch of files and do them in a batch process. It's not perfect and may come back with no results, just depends what it can find. Worth trying though.
