Organizing music files and libraries!

[Youmusic]

Hello all,

I would like to know if there is a way to organize better my music files. I want a program that with some clicks will put inside files of mp3 info such as year, bpm, lyrics maybe, kind of music and such things.

Is there any program that i will put mp3 files and grap automatically info?

Thank you!

HI,
You can look for a id3tag program, who get info of the internet.

grtz.

I have test it. Is there something more than this? I need something that i will automatically grap artist title album year some info for artist and maybe lyrics. I want to do this for thousands songs so i want something fast

I use Mp3Tag. It is very extensible. All taggers I know of require some user input. Even getting your tags from the internet is a variable at times. Why? Because personal tagging standards vary so widely (and sometimes wildly). Sometimes you have to overwrite varying sections of the tags to get what you want/need. So, in short, there is no all in one easy solution; you will just have to slog it out album by album, sometimes song by song.

I also use mp3tag but i am not sure this program can find insert lyrics into the songs , but to get the name year, album artist title, genre things like that its perfect, i chose the songs (Can be many songs, i am not sure if can be 1000 or more but) , select and right click them, so go to mp3tag open with option, there you can use many options, like put the filename to tag and tag to filename.etc.

NOTE: I know a program that is very usefull and if you use it with mp3tag, (and with mp3gain [optional] ) it let rour library perfect or almost...

recase!

Recase is a free software that get UPPERCASE or LOWCASE your music files, or some filename, a photo, text, etc...

I use Recase this way:

Select some musics, the program has a limit of files to insert (about 10 or 15 each time)
Then you use anytime you can use it many times, the only thing i dont like is that, it dont accept GET UPPERCASE or LOWCASE more than 15 files

But consider using this for get uppercase and then you can use mp3 tag to get into the file tag the uppercase automatically. did you understand me?

You can convert case using Actions in mp3tag. Just use case conversion and set _ALL to UPPER case and that's it.
If you need a good application to rename files, get ReNamer, which is free for non-commercial use, can do more than converting letter case and doesn't limit number of files.

The bad thing bout doing upper case in actions in mp3 case is you hav to do two process, action thn tag to fileagain, but its okay, recase is very good because it works by two clicks , one right click open contxt menu, left click in upercase or lowcase, but the bad thing in recase is limit of files to convert. i though with myself here after reading Andy's post, Mp3 tag aaaalways convert hundreds or thousands os files, in uppercase antioncs process it must be the same way i gonna try this renamer software  Thanks.

For what it's worth, when I decided to change format on my station from long-form talk to Classic Hits, I spent 3 weeks going through 2,000 songs using Mp3tag... what a time saver that was!  I was able to eliminate duplicate songs (keeping the higher-resolution versions), mis-named and mis-titled (Arrgh!  ) songs, incorrect genres, Artist names starting with "The", incorrect years... and then have Mp3tag change the filenames to a nice, clean, RELIABLE <artist> - <title> format.  This weeded everything down to about 1,500 titles, about 1,000 of which I have available for airplay at anytime now.... and about 500 that are in rotation at any one time.  Oh, and I spent a good part of that 3 weeks in RDJ's Cue Editor verifying Start and End marks, and setting Intro and Next cues. 

Yes, it was worth it!  Because now I can relax with no worries and a CONSISTENT sound.  There's also no chance now of playing a Stephen Bishop song that's incorrectly marked as Christopher Cross!!   Or playing Steve Miller's "The Joker" and having it show up in the "Now Playing" text as "Space Cowboy!"

I find that Media Monkey is very good at organising my music files.  With well over 24000 tracks in my collection,  it seems to be a very usable tool in my toolbox.
