Music tagging, organisation programs?

Sniipe

Is there a program out there that can organise my music? Perhaps connect to the internet DB for music and analyse the tunes? I have all my folders in 1 main folder by artist, but there are loads of mistakes; duplicate tunes, wrong folders, etc... Is there somewhere I can start to organise them better.
I normally use explorer to go to the folder and then select the tunes I want... eg, trance 2005 folder.
Now I've decided to use Windows media player. I have a creative zen and recently an xbox, so this is the handiest one to use.

I use this..it's free and will do full directories

I always clean everything up with this,
even stuff that looks OK. It's also VERY fast, and as far as I can
see, totally bug free - never had it crash.

Works best if you have a set way of doing things.


Start by getting the names of you're files reasonably consistent -
don't worry about what the tags look like. I always use
Album-Track - Artist - Title (<B>-<K> - <A> - <T>)


You then use ID30-tagit and use the filename to create the ID3 tags
(work with ID3v2, then copy to ID3V1 at the very end).


Clean up the grammar in artists, titles, albums etc.


If you need to use the enumerate function to create track numbers
(very good for numbering a double album from say 01 to 44, instead of
having to call it Album-DiscA and Album-DiscB). Remember to deactivate
it when you've done numbering an album.


A lot of the programs that auto populate ID3 tags do so in odd ways,
and you end up needing to tidy up afterwards. But even here ID3-tagit
is great, cos you can select one or more albums and update just a
single attribute on each file. Its also very good at

What you end up with is a very consistent ID3 tag structure.

MediaMonkey is also an excellent option for what you're looking to do.
