andrewduckerGot lots of MP3s? Do most of them have the wrong ID3 tags and filenames?
I've handily spent dozens of hours downloading programs and swearing at the wilful incompetence of their programmers to find the perfect solution to your problems.
You need MusicBrainz and MP3 Studio.
MusicBrainz fingerprints each MP3 by it's frequency levels and then looks up the likely track name (which you can then check and correct as necessary). It then updates the tags to match the information.
MP3 Studio takes the tags and uses them to rename the files. I rename all of mine to "d:\my music\artist\album\tracknumber - trackname" which keeps them all nicely arranged.
Between them they can deal with pretty much all of your MP3s.
