prophetik music Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 sure, it looks the same, but itunes isn't recognizing it as the same. maybe you should actually try what i suggest before you tell me it doesn't work. another way to check is to look in the album scroll thingie. if they're still showing up out of order with a hundred different names, try my suggestion and they'll fix themselves.

Sorry I came off as crass and stubborn; I have experienced the problem you described many times and your method does work to fix it. It was actually one of the methods I tried to get things back to normal, and it helped on the iTunes end of things, but the problem still remained on my iPod. On iTunes, everything was organized under one artist like it should be, but when synced to an iPod it started displaying duplicate artists for every song that I'd added a "Sort Artist" tag to. That's why I was 99% sure that it was a separate problem than the one you described; I didn't just throw out your suggestion without testing it It's a moot issue now, though, because I did come up with a system that worked well for me; simply checking the "Part of a Compilation" box on every OCR song. So if anyone else is interested in organizing all your remixes under one artist while still retaining the actual artist information, this is probably the easiest way to do it. I do appreciate the help from all you guys, though, even if I came across the solution in my own way. Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I have a huge bunch of MP3 files with very messy tags/filenames. What's the best free software for identifying what songs they are and renaming/retagging them accordingly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainzTagger OH, and don't run it through your OCR stuff. They have a tagging standard which differs from OCRs standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Wasn't planning on it, but thanks for the heads-up. And for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaniscence Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It checks it up against the MusicBrainz database which has pretty much everything ever. You can check it has what you want specifically if you want. Some examples: http://musicbrainz.org/search/textsearch.html?type=release&query=Guilty+Gear&handlearguments=1 http://musicbrainz.org/search/textsearch.html?type=release&query=Final+Fantasy&handlearguments=1 http://musicbrainz.org/search/textsearch.html?type=release&query=Katamari&handlearguments=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Say I want to add on a word to the end of the Song Name ID3 field for all songs from a certain artist. I found a script that would help me do this, but it's only for Mac - does anyone know any good Windows scripts that can mass-alter ID3 tag fields? I'd prefer one that works directly with iTunes, but I'd live if it interacted through a different interface. Tanks! :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I always use MP3Tag. I don't know if it'll do something as specific as add a word onto the end of an existing tag, but I've found it extremely useful for all my mass ID3-tagging needs. The Filename->Tag and Tag->Filename features are what I use the most. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsurugi Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I use Tag&Rename. It's really good for doing tags in batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
