MemberI use TuneUp, Is the best tagging in the whole world…I think. It cost about $50 for a lifetime subscription. You can drag hundreds of songs onto the TuneUp sidebar in a single click does the job. When it’s done, you’ll have a list to approve with any tricky songs or album. The free version of TuneUp is limited to 50 songs per month

ParticipantMP3Tag.de and a Discogs plugin on the PC
Sometimes I’ll tidy them up with Trainspotter if I’m making a playlist and find an incomplete file.July 12, 2011 at 1:33 am #1001014Adam Sharizman
Participant[INDENT=1]I use VirtualDJ. Only recently I realized that you can edit the tags with VirtualDJ. I’m sure Traktor has th same features and whatnot.[/INDENT]

This. Set up custom actions and you can auto-tag and rename all your digtal downloads in 1 click.
I have yet to find a mac app that actually works well for mass renaming mp3s.

What is the “Discogs Plugin”?

ParticipantIt’s a nifty little script that scrapes the data from Discogs.com
I think this is the 1 I’m using

ParticipantNo, I tag stuff as I buy it so it’ll be done in a way that I’m sure to be able to understand it and it be correct.

ParticipantI just recently purchased BeaTunes and I like it. But I’m having a little trouble getting around in it. I previously used MIK to key my songs and for a long time I have been looking for a different program to do this. After reading Phil’s article about it I decided to give it a go. I’m not sure if it’s because I used MIK before but I can see in BeaTunes that the Key for the song is say F# Major and then BeaTunes uses a similar style to MIK but it doesn’t post this is the Key section of the Track when I open Traktor it just shows me the actual Key. I have printed out the Circle of Fifths to memorize instead. I’m still working on getting the Playlists working. For some reason everyone of my tracks is rated in Traktor but the ratings do not show up in BeaTunes.

KeymasterI’ll ask the BeaTunes developer to help you on this.

MemberI Know we have another Thread on the Subject of Metadata;
But if anyone has the time (or inclination :)) to Explain to me a little bit about the Benefit of MP3 ID3 Tagging; I would be Very Grateful (as I could/would use it in my Work if I Understood it – and I Don’t);
I Do Understand Metadata (having looked it up); but I still have Traktor Pro 2 on my laptop; and would like to Understand ‘What’ the MP3 ID3 Tagging is actually ‘For’; (and How it My Benefit me Obviously :))
Many ThanksJuly 18, 2011 at 3:30 pm #1001085Hippie
ParticipantYou can search for tracks and compile playlists/sets via the tags. As you can fill the tags with all kinds of info like BPM, key, genre, artist, title, release, label …etc tagging them properly and having the ability to search via the tags can really help you stay ontop of your collection and find tracks easily as your collection grows.
Traktor doesn’t let you compile smart playlists (searching for multiple tags and rules) but you can with Trainspotter (tspotter.net) or iTunes.
