Music organization programs

Bucketman

Hello forum. So I finally went and ripped all of my CDs to my computer, and loaded all the music up into Itunes. Problem is that some of it (a lot of it) didn't get the proper Album titles or composer or what not and now it won't all organize neatly.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good free program to help me clean up my collection. Thanks in advance

I used this editor in the past, and it performed great.

Tag and Rename may be just what you need.

I've used it for a few years and find it to be powerful enough to do what I want.
Features I find useful:

• Download tags/album art from Amazon.com
• Save album art to folder for filesystem thumbnails
• Batch edit of tags
• Batch rename files to match tags
• Generate tags from file names
• Custom masks for folder/filenames (artist - track - title.mp3 or whatever you want)

It's not free, but there's a demo that lasts 30 days.

The free version of Mediamonkey will do all that. It's not the absolute best program, but I use it now and then to resort all my music. You can tag everything, get the album art, then tell it to shuffle all your music to a particular folder, with custom subfolders in there. And those features are free forever.

Second vote for mediamonkey.

It does everything you could want and it also allows user scripts so it probably does stuff you wouldn't even think of.

When I ripped my entire library of CDs about 7 years ago, I had somewhere in the low hundreds of CDs (200-300 I think), and there were errors where the artists were named slightly different, albums were a little wonky, genres were stupid.

I actually did it manually, since iTunes lets you select an album and update all of the ID3 tags at once. It ended up not taking very much time at all, and I had the added benefit of finding some albums and tracks I'd sort of forgotten about. More importantly I was able to organize things and name them how I wanted, rather than how a script would do it.
