Mp3 tag names

LooeyUK · 27-10-2004, 13:48

Right basicly, i've downloaded an album. (legal of course)

Its got 2 directories (cd1 and cd2). Inside those directories are the .mp3 files. They go like this

Track_1.mp3
Track_2.mp3
Track_3.mp3
Track_4.mp3
etc...

Right down to Track_21.mp3

Is there a program that will allow you to load them up and then connect to the net and connect to those sites that give you the tag name and change them for you?

Many thanks

Nope, you need the CD. But of course you have that so will be able to do it.

unlucky, but if you send it back to the publisher they will replace it for you

Cant be bothered with all that.

So there isnt like a program that checks and matches and updates your mp3 tag names?

What is it going to check against? Your not providing the catalogue of the CD.

But then you could rename the all and correct the tab names, after all you have obtained it for free

Yes, there's no problem here really, just a few minutes of your time ... any music player like WMP or iTunes will let you edit the ID tags - you type the track, author, album etc names in the appropriate spaces within the application and it updates the tags. If you have a legit copy of the CD, then you presumably have the case for it, so you have all the information you need right there.

I would provide it the album name and it would update the tracks

It don't work like that, sorry. You could prolly give Gooooooogle the album name and find a website that would list the tracks for you, if you have already thrown the CD and its case away, but you would still have to type the information into each track manually within the music player app you're using. And it still only takes a few minutes to do. In fact, you could have done it in less time than has passed since you started this thread.

Thats true. Just thought there may have been an application that would do it all for you.

Nevermind, thanks for all your help

Just found out it can be done.

Really simple infact. http://fileforum.betanews.com/sendfi...1/tgf_beta.zip

It can search the normal cd databases or it can search amazon! It updates the tags for you :p

Get Tag and Rename 3.1, it'll up date it all for you via the Internet database of cd's. It is very good.

Well, there you go. Glad you found what you were after. Of course, by now you could have manually retagged your entire collection ...
