Tagging Recorded songs

[spthomas]

I've recorded some audio using FreeCorder, and Now I have a bunch of songs that I've downloaded to my mp3 player. But there is no song information on them, so the player can't sort them into playlists. Is there an easy way to tag all these downloads?

We do have a program in the works that will be able to do this. Unfortunately it is not available yet.

Let me know if you need a beta tester.

XP Pro user. What I do is when one download finishes, I rename it with the artist - songname. Then right-clcik the file and edit the summary info. That way the song info shows up in your player. Then you can get the entire song info from an imdb site automatically. Yes it's a few steps but it gets you the info.

Depends on the mp3 player you use and how you manage sync to the player. I don't know of an easy way to do what you want for lots of files. I have an iPod and use iTunes to manage the sync.

Firstly, I do exactly what "it-spec2009" does. I do enough edits to the mp3 using standard Windows Explorer so that I can find the file in iTunes. I then drag and drop the file into iTunes and edit all of the tags accurately, adding some artwork on the way to make it look nice on my iPod!

I also use MediaMonkey (the free version, available here (http://www.mediamonkey.com/)). I find it very good for editing tags and doing auto-renames of lots of files. Might be worth a look if you don't like iTunes.

"Other mp3 file management programs are available...." :)
