Default ipod - Tagging and Art

Hello people!

Anyone know of any good programs that will help me sort out my music tags and album pictures for my iPod? I just had a play with FixTunes... not realising it was just a demo. Boo! Seemed alright though...

But yeh... any ideas? I've got uber loads of unsorted stuff and it would take me months upon months to do it single handedly!

Oh Pickers has just said "DONT GET ANYTHING THAT CHANGES THE ID3 TAGS as I have done them all and checked them!" Still have no art work on my iPod though!

Fankoo for your helpo!

Media Monkey
MP3Tag
TagAndRename
The Godfather

I used Media Monkey myself for tagging and album art last summer and it worked quite well.

Yeah artwork on its own is a bit of a buegger, Music Brainz Picard latest version (ive been pimping the beta but its not on anymore ) sorts EVERYTHING out, if you play around you may be able to make it just not write tags, but tbh its not like it'll get them wrong anyways! I tagged and added album art to 45Gb of music so far and its only got on album wrong, its by far THE BEST peice of software out there for this once setup correctly. Ie make sure you have the disc and album art plugin working correctly.

I do all my artwork and tags by hand. On 40GB worth of music, it took a fair while. I have to go back through and do release dates and genres again soon because I've been a bit lax on them recently

Why waste your time? Music Brainz Picard will do just a good a job?

I've tried using that and it was a bit rubbish and took AGES. It's not a waste of time, I enjoy doing it
