I don’t really own that many CDs and the bulk of my music collection is a random assortment of songs downloaded over the years. It isn’t a bunch of nice, well-organized, ripped albums. As a result, my MP3s are incorrectly named, horribly tagged, and just generally a mess. This wasn’t a problem until I bought an MP3 player, and now I have trouble finding songs I want to listen to.
Luckily, the guys over at MusicBrainz have solved my problem. They created software that will go through your music library and compare the audio footprint to tracks within their database. Then they’ll set the ID3 tags and names of the files. So far, I’ve tagged and renamed 2199 songs and I have 795 left to tag. It’s all driven by the community, so the more people that index their music, the more efficient the auto-tagging will be. Translation: Sign up so that schmucks like me can leech off of your well organized music.
