    MP3 tagging program

    Looking for a good tagging program - I want to be able to type in the name of the album and then select the files I want tagged.

    Now here comes the difficult part - most tagging programs which work like this only pick up the 1st cd if you are trying to tag a compilation disc(which is mostly what I buy as am into dance/house etc).

    I'm looking for a program that will allow me to tag both cds. The current one I use tag and rename and even the one in mediamonkey used amazon as a reference but it only ever picks up the 1st cd.

    Hoping you can help as hate having half my tracks tagged and want an alternative to manually adding 20+ tags on a compilation album.
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    I usually use foobar and just use the built-in freedb function.
    Make sure the MP3s are in the right order, and only pick the tracks that is in the same CD, I've done this on multi-disk albums.

    I don't see how this wouldn't work, as if there is someone submitted disc1, it would be illogical not to submit disc2.

    You don't even need to type the name of the CD. programs should generate the required disc id from the tracks you selected for searching freedb.

    You could try the MusicBrainz classic tagger
    http://musicbrainz.org/doc/ClassicTaggerDownload

    It inspects the files and matches them up to the albums - and once you've got one, you can tag the whole album (and if it's not in their DB, you can import from freedb)

    I use Tag&Rename all the time, and it handles multiple disks without a problem.

    I have each disk ripped to a seperate folder. I have Tag&Rename set to show the folders and files in the right habd pane. You can select multiple folders and then edit all tags within those folders. Works really well.

    Another nod to Tag&Rename, it's very good.

    OWrth the price in my opinion. sure there are free ones, but i just like the way T&R works.

    Bit annoying that it will hog the CPU when open though.

    Use Tag&Rename too, when I was looking at software it was the best around at the time, not too sure now but it does the job.
