PicardTagger - most useful mp3 tool ever?
Posted in mp3, Media, Music on June 26, 2008 at 10:02 am
I’ve been using the PicardTagger the last week and thought I would post up a quick post of appreciation.
I have over 6000 mp3’s - all from a sizable CD collection.

I’ll give this a go. I’m having problems getting proper tags even when ripping http://www.itpro.co.uk/blogs/davef/2008/06/13/musicmatch-jukebox-cddb/
so this could be just what I need.

Hmm, not as good as I’d hoped. It found one album OK and failed to find a few others. The one it found I had to drag each track to its tag & then save & set the rename file before MMJB would pick up the tag. Still worth a go.

The trick is you load an album in. Choose cluster (it should then make the album a common folder). Then click the folder and then lookup. Without the cluster option its not quite as accurate and sometimes requires drag trick (this annoyed me till I figured it out).
In fact in 95% of the 6000 tracks I done, this found album and tracks, and I then just had to click save to save the new tags (I did set all the rename etc options in settings 1st). Have to admit though in tricky compilations it works far better than anything else.
I’ve also found the scan option actually uses audio fingerprinting (not md5) to find a file, meaning if you have a mp3 but you don’t know what it is, Picard can sometimes find out (if you can’t tell from filename and have forgot in the 6 years since it was ripped…).
