Well i am now i went through a big phase of making sure everything was tagged perfect with album art etc...

Same here. All of my albums are tagged correctly, except a few are still missing album art which I'll sort out at some point. I got fed up of having tons of crappy music with no tags on them and messing up my nice media library

Mediamonkey makes that quite easy, you can "tag from the web" and it scrapes everything from amazon, but instead of track and album properties, just tick the album cover. The few you have left over just do them as they appear when you play them

Slightly OT but talk to me about this. I need to tag up quite a lot of my collection as it has grown significantly in the last few months and is getting messy.

Without wanting to sound blunt, try here and here, that basically covers everything i do with MusicBrainz Picard

If you need any more help or instructions, don't hesitate to PM me, or start a thread and i'm sure other will come to help too!

Make sure you have the Disc, and album art plugin installed, and test it first on a small batch of music thats untagged so you can get to grips with what its doing, then literally unleash it on all your music and you'll be done that night probably

I <3 Picard, it's made my music collection so much better just by having everything tagged properly. I even unleashed it on all my random singles and was amazed at how many it found (not everything, though I do have some random stuff). It's definitely the best MP3 tagger I've ever used.

I swear by in now, *everything* i add goes by MusicBrainz first before it gets anywhere near my library now, its even easy to keep a library nice with it

Davey_Pitch · 22-04-2008, 13:00

Same here, Picard effectively controls my library as I only add things in there by using Picard first

Cheers fellas, those threads look like just the ticket

Well, got my Touch today after some faffing about with Royal Mail, and it really is sex in a small device. It looks amazing, and the touch interface is genius. I can see myself listening to a lot more music simply because I have it. After first using iTunes to recognise and set up the Touch, MediaMonkey took over and it was a breeze to transfer music to it. iTunes begone, a proper program is here to take your place
