Best Mp3/music Tagger?

Apocalypsecow

<div class="IPBDescription">ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tagger</div> I've amassed a fairly large MP3/OGG Vorbis collection on my hard drive, it's increasingly becoming a hassle to organize; I'm looking for opinons on the best taggers. I use WinAMP and while it already has the ability to edit ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, it's not very effective. I'm looking for a program that can add ID3v1 and IDv3v2 tags to all my MP3s, OGGs and others automatically en masse. I've already got all my files in an "Artist - Title" format and I want to something that will just add the Artist, Title, Album Etc. tags from the the filenames.

I've heard some good things about <a href='http://www.musicmatch.com/' target='_blank'>Music Match</a> and <a href='http://www.id3-tagit.de/english/index.htm' target='_blank'>ID3-TagIt</a>, but I'm open to suggestions as to any other programs to use. I'm also wondering whether it'd be best to get this tag info from <a href='http://www.gracenote.com/' target='_blank'>CDDB</a> or some other source. I'm pretty new to dealing with ID3 tags so any help you guys could give me would be much appreciated.

<b>Edit:</b> I'm also thinking about getting an iPod and it's pretty dependent on Id3 tags, hence this post.

<a href='http://xdev.narod.ru/tagscan_e.htm' target='_blank'>tagscanner</a> is what i use... it can do ID3 writes from file name systems or make file name systems out of existing tags.

As for getting the tag there to begin with from CDDB, that is normally done by the ripping program.

The best I've used.

I love iTunes. Great for mass re-naming. It'll try to pull info from the filename, but isn't great at it. It also doesn't handle oggs, unfortunately - probably its only failing.

Aside from those negatives, there is *no* better/easier way to organize a large quantity of music.

Thanks for you suggestions everyone - I've decided to go with Tagscanner for now, and I'll check out ID3-TagIt. If I do get an iPod I'll probably use iTunes.
