So with these (I’m using Tune-Up)… what’s with all the Chinese?

More importantly, how do I fix it?

They may own us, but I don’t know the language… at least not yet.

so I am not super tech savy. I bought Fixtunes and it pretty much blows. In addtion to misnaming the crap out of stuf, it fixes the tags at the “libray” level via Itunes. I want to fix the metadata on the actual mp3 in the folder in windows. DO these programs do that or just at th library level like Fixtunes?

You should give Helium Music Manager a try. It includes lots of tagging options, including downloading meta data and pictures from online sources through the help of plug-ins. Some of the supported sources are freedb, Amazon.com, Google Image Search, Yahoo Image Search, Last.fm, Discogs.com and some lyrics plug-ins.

Mp3Tag is great… and it IS available for Linux. I don’t remember where I gt it, but I’m using it right now in Ubuntu Linux. It’s one of my favorite tools.

Thank you, since switching to songbird and reloading all of my media after building a new rig I’ve needed something to do this exact thing! I’ve done some of it manually and let me just say checking 7,000+ mp3 is a long process.

I’m surprised to not see MM on here too. I think if you look at v3.06 (current) Pro/Gold edition, it can’t be beat.

The only real ‘issue’ with MM is that the learning curve can seem steep at first. Once you use some of the advanced library features, like AutoOrganize, Tagging from Web etc, and you put some thought towards how you manage your data, it is a superior solution. The backend DB is very powerful and will allow flexibility on the normal tagging, plus things like Genre, Category, Mood, Tempo, etc.

The difference here is that the tools in the article are basic “tagging” tools. MM is a full library management and music jukebox platform. It is a big jump, but worth checking out if you have a large music collection.

On Linux I use Audio Tag Tool. It’s more manual, but I select a directory (w/ subdirs) and tell it “all these are by $artist” then go through the subdirs for the albums. I can tell it to pull the track title from the filename, and then when it’s all done if I want to make the filenames uniform (”1. A Song” or “1 – A Song”), I can tell it to rename all the files based on the tags (that’s the bit I like best).

I’ve tried MediaMonkey before, but it somehow slipped from this article. My impression wasn’t that good however.

What about mediamonkey? Tags your album from the amazon UK/US/French/etc database online in, from my experience, only a few seconds. It downloads the album art and tags it to the tracks and fixes all the metadata, and all while being a great media player as well. A great program.
