We've all been there: A large number of mp3 files in a directory which have odd names, incorrect or incomplete IDv3 tags and a general mess. Finding easy-to-use software which automatically corrects this mess can almost be as time consuming as actually fixing these tags yourself.
Here are some programs which we've tested that can automatically fix your mp3 ID3 tags and in some cases, also provide for fixing up your mp3 filenames at the same time.
In most cases, these programs use either Discogs, Amazon, FreeDB, MusicBrainz or TrackType to fetch the metadata which is used to automatically popular IDv3 tags. Album, artist, genre, album art and track information all supported.
