help with a decent id3 tag re-writer Posted on: 31.07.2013 by Stefania Herb guys i need some help, all my id3 tags got screwed somehow by SSL, and now i need to rewrite about 60 gigs worth of tags.... any ideas on a decent tag writer that can do the bulk of the job for me?
Stefania Herb 02.08.2013	Originally Posted by robdquick I'm actually really surprised that someone hasn't already developed something like this. With Shazam being able to listen to songs and tell you exactly what they are, and then an mp3tag type program to write the tags. why cant someone come up with a program that reads the filename and derives most of the tag info based on that, and then give you the ability to edit if needed, but do it in bulk like how ssl analyzes crates in bulk?

Janeen Tarricone 03.08.2013	Just like everyone else has said, MP3Tag will do this. Mediamonkey can also derive tags from the filenames. But.... I believe there is another lesson buried in this issue you hit. Where are your backups? For something as important as your music collection, you should ALWAYS have three copies. The original copy, an off machine copy and an offsite copy. This will cover you no matter what happens whether it be: a drive failure, theft, fire, or even some stupid application that jacks up your tags. Drives are cheap so buy a couple 3TB externals. Keep one at a friend's house. Then run a full backup every two weeks and swap drives with the one at your friends house every month. This way if you hit a common problem (drive failure or some application messes up your tags), you are only out of two week's work max. If a less common problem occurs (theft, fire, etc), then you are only out a month's worth of work max. Stuff like this happens, it's best to be prepared.
Brunilda Kora 02.08.2013	You're talking about MP3Tag, mate. It can do all of that.

Stefania Herb 02.08.2013	im gunna have a fit... im about to offer someone silly cash to sort my library now.. im so disheartened
Brunilda Kora 01.08.2013	Good point...

Stefania Herb 01.08.2013	ok so ive downloaded mp3tag and tbh i cant figure out how to use it, and further more it cannot find tag info for tracks like radioactive by imagine dragons for instance...im starting to lose heart and my mind
Brunilda Kora 01.08.2013	will it do bulk rewrites by accessing the net and rewriting for me? Depends what you want it to re-write, and what information you already have. If you have artist and title information (maybe in the filename), then yes, it can look at online databases and return corresponding info. But it won't magically "listen" to your tracks and tell you the artist, title, tempo, key, year, artwork, etc...

Brunilda Kora 31.07.2013	MP3Tag.
Lakeesha Storman 31.07.2013	depends on the format of your files, but I've like foobar so far. Has some great command line options that might be able to automatically deduce your tags from folders, filenames, etc as well as a better conversion option for aiff than switch. I believe it can also attempt to find metadata from online databases. mp3tag is another popular option, although it's inability to support aiff is why I chose foobar.
