MP3 Tag info
 
Hi

I'm sorting out all my MP3s in WMP and some titles are blank when it comes to artist, most of the 260 are TV themes. (the info in the CDs don't say)

Does anybody know of a website that should enable me to fill them out.

If you right click and go properties on the song in question, you can change the ID3V2 tag.

A window should pop up with two tabs - "General" and "Summary". click on the "Summary" one and then click advanced.

There should be a little dialog saying "Music" and then "Album Title" and "Artist". To change the artist name - click on the blank space right of the "Artist" text. Type in the artist name(s) and click apply..

And you're done.

Ah - I see. You could always check for cds that the theme tune may be on - I searched amazon for "Pink Panther" and came out with this

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=glance&n=5174

Giving me the artists name - Henry Mancini..

Try that

Yeah, google! (Otherwise why not just ask us if we know, or what I do - use "various")

However if you want a decent app for managing MP3 tags then this one pwns.

I find this a pretty good tag editor.......

The program supports online freedb database lookups for selected files, allowing you to automatically gather proper tag information for select files or CDs.
Which I assume you are looking for ;)
