When I started ripping my CDs many moons ago, I was limited to the 30 character/field limit imposed by the ID3v1 tags.

I have files in the format:

Directory: "artist - album"
Track: "tracknumber - songtitle.mp3"

For example:

Directory: "Carter the unstoppable sex machine - 1992, the love album"
Track: "04 - Suppose You Gave A Funeral And Nobody Came.mp3"

Of course, some bits don't fit - those tags read as follows:
Artist - "Carter the unstoppable sex mac"
Title - "Suppose you gave a funeral and"

Now, the information hasn't been lost - It's all in the directory/filename.

What I need is an intelligent piece of software which I can point at a directory tree and it goes off and scans to see what matches and what it can piece together. Ideally it'd present me with a window I can check/edit changes before they're committed.

Anybody heard of any such beast? The thought of manually (well, OK, with MPTagger) processing somewhere in the region of 300+ albums is so daunting that if there's nothing to help me it probably won't get done.

Cheers,

Nick.
