Tag your Tunes

Posted on July 23, 2005 by Olly S

As an iPod owner with a shed-load of music, I am always on the lookout for good software for automatically tagging (i.e. adding the track, artist, album name etc.) to my music so that I can find it when browsing through my tunes on the iPod. Recently I came across this tool Musicbrainz which so far I am very impressed with. Adding tags to your music is tedious to say the least and this tool makes it and quick and as painless as any I have yet discovered, and *bonus* – it’s free. Mac users get the best solution from this setup with a plugin for iTunes called ieatBrainz(!) (download here). Windows users can use the excellent Music Brainz tagger software.

    Not sure about using this blog to plug your dubious technology ideas. What if it scrubs all the mp3s on one of your reader’s iPods? Will you compensate them for the loss?

    Good God, man! You are right. This IS much better than the rubbish on my site. The live preview, that is, that is extremely impressive. The rest of your rubbish not quite as rubbishy as mine. You need to try harder.
