Problem is I have 100's of mp3's that are not properly named with the same case and spelling of the mp3s and id3 tags. anyone know of a good program that can help me go through and organize... and yeah, i searched tww. and google, but who knows there are so many.. what do you recomend?

Check out MusicBrainz... It analyzes the file and compares it to an online database and tags/renames automatically. It's great and FREE

musicbrainz worked really good for me. Ran almost 2000 mp3 through, and it got a lot of them on it's own, then there were a few hundred where it gave me choices and it was usually the very first one, so I just had to click it. I would just leave the program open then do like 30 or so at a time until I got done. That may seem like a pain in the ass, but it's the best option i found and once it's done it's just a matter of getting the stuff right as you add new songs from there on. I think i did have to register or something but it's free, and this was several months ago so they probably have a larger data base by now.

^ This is a good program.

If you have a ton of files named so incredibly wrong, MusicBrainz is wonderful
