A lot of People Asked about the right way to Tag an MP3 album in My Last guide.

Please Note :

• Tagging an Album in my method takes at least 10 minutes.If you don't care about Tags that much, stick to your fast tagging Method
  
• The mp3 album used in this guide is encoded from my own CD.I Do NOT Condone music piracy.if you like any music buy it.Artists deserve support (now where have i heard that before !!)

Nice guide.

Have tried around 10 Tag software & finally loved Mp3Tag - Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)

Do try it.

I tried mp3tag to tag my mp3 files.
But,its not working.
I only want to change Artist - Title from track 1,2,3 etc automatically.
When at last action hitting click it showing 0 of X file renamed.

MP3Tag is great - just get the software to tag the files properly from the net and then rename files according to tag option.

BTW,any way to convert Japanese tag/name into English for mp3/aac file ?
Japanese or other language not showing.
All japanese alphabets showing square blocks.
Mine is Windows 7 OS.

Its because the software doesn't support utf8. Ask the developers by mail to add support for utf8 or foreign languages.

Any easy tutorial available ?
Created '%artist% - %title%' Action but still failed to change mp3 name.
Mp3tag may be not checking online for info ?

Did you try "Tag Sources"? Works for me most of the time.

 

[Revolution]

Do you mean Tag Sources>freedbID>via web ?
But,what to chose ?

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Choose any of the providers. I use Amazon usually.

I am an obsessive tagger of music in my collection. My music manager has been Media Monkey since early 21st cent. Needless to say I extensively use it to tag/re-tag my music in NAS. However for localized and out-of home tagging I use portable version of MP3 Tag scan. Later, once I migrate these music into my NAS library these are then tag-tweaked to confirm to my library standards.
