Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / April 2004ID3tag software?
Anyone know of any software that may have a link to freedb.org or gracenote to automatically generate ID3 tags by looking at the filename? Specifically, I'm after something that will not only write the Song name and Artist, but also the Album name, track number, and perhaps year.  SignatureMark remove "remove" and "spam" to reply Windows Media Player will fill in missing ID3 tag info for you. It must be enabled in "options" under the Media Library tab. You have the option to only fill in missing info or to overwrite the current tag. > Anyone know of any software that may have a link to freedb.org or gracenote > to automatically generate ID3 tags by looking at the filename?

The cool thing about it is you get to choose from the list in CDDB that it finds instead of it chosing for you. It will also fill in Genre, Year, and whatever else info you want. Best program I have used for this application. > Anyone know of any software that may have a link to freedb.org or gracenote > to automatically generate ID3 tags by looking at the filename? > Specifically, I'm after something that will not only write the Song name and > Artist, but also the Album name, track number, and perhaps year.

Excellent point - I'm about to embark on the same road and hadn't thought of that yet...I hope someone out there has a known solution for us! In ID3-TagIT click Options then Scan Subdirectories.

That only seems to bring up files that already have ID3 tags. Also when I tried to select an album that was missing one song, it couldn't identify it in the database. I don't always mp3 up every song on a CD, so that's another shortcoming. It did fine if I used the entire album. > In ID3-TagIT click Options then Scan Subdirectories. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Excellent point - I'm about to embark on the same road and hadn't thought > > of that yet...I hope someone out there has a known solution for us! > Anyone know of any software that may have a link to freedb.org or gracenote > to automatically generate ID3 tags by looking at the filename? > Specifically, I'm after something that will not only write the Song name and > Artist, but also the Album name, track number, and perhaps year.
