Edit ID3 / Auto get album image??

JinRoh · 08-21-2008

Hi there! I'd like to do 2 thing to "standarize" my mp3 collection.

First, I'd like to correct all ID3 tags, because some songs are missing information, or have it wrong. Which is the best tool to do it, without having to do it one by one? (something like a manager for the whole folder?).

Also, how can I add album images to my mp3 files, without having to download it manually and placing it in the albums folder? I know some media players for windows/linux can download automatically the album img. Can't we do something to get it added for all our albums??

Thanks!! Sorry for noob questions :P

There is no tool to update your tags, but there's SuperMan for automated album art.

I update my tags with foobar2000, it can get the tags from freedb.org.
Another more sophisticated tool which can do it is "picard".

SuperMan and BatMan. Interesting names for Meizu programs :P

Thanks! I'll take a look :D

i'm currently using tagrunner TAGRUNNER-ID3-tag, lyrics, cover artwork, autotag ID3-tags editor
its good for finding tags, album art and even lyrics, it can place the album art as seperate files, and inside id3v2 (not preferred for m6)

its a good and easy program, but it takes some time to tag a large collection of files...

Thanks but I already edited all my ID3 with Mp3Tag (mp3tag.de)

It was easy, but I spent almost an hour :P (In my tiny 180 mp3 collection)

I also tried SuperMan and it's great!! I added the album art for all my songs :DD However, I also discovered that lyrics are supported in the Meizu, so I tried with some songs, but if you have lyrics enabled, the album art is not shown.

Is there any way to get the album art to appear, and the lyrics after some seconds?

Another great program to tag your mp3 collection (and rename the files itself) is TAGSCANNER The Ultimate TagScanner: News

I don't think that there is a solution to your last question

BobbyQ · 08-22-2008

nope, there isn't.

[...]

Did you spend an hour using Mp3Tag?

I have used it and now I'm using Tag&Rename 3.4.6 which let me edit the tags in no time cause automatically fix and complete file tags using online databases ( amazon.com and tracktype.org ). It also load lyrics and cover art from its sources.

It has full native support for many audio formats (flac, mp3, ogg,...)

Well actually I spent almost an hour because I was also watching Spain vs Lietuva (Basketball, I am also Spanish :P)

I previously tried Tag&Rename, but I find it more difficult than Mp3Tag (although I had to search for album info manually)

Thanks
