However if Winamp is what you use and are ever going to use, then there is no use fluffing around with ID3v2

89132 2002-10-14 19:39:00 I suggest you download My Power Desk vs5 from Ontrack or a recent PC world cover CD. IT not only is beats Windows Explorer to death as a file manager but also allows you to edit MP3 tags to your hearts content. Its very easy to use and replaces a number of other utilities, and is fully compatable with all versions of windows. Better yet the demo version has only a few limitations and is free!!!

89133 2002-10-15 06:48:00 Thanks for all the info people. I've decided I will tag up the files as I go to save me a big job later on.

Graham P: I've had a look for ID3 Tag-it but that exact name doesn't turn up in any of my searches. There are one or two similar-sounding programs but I thought I'd see if you could provide a bit more direction to the proper one first in case I'm totally off the track.

89134 2002-10-15 06:59:00 Hi Susan,

To save you from sitting at your computer for ages re-tagging everything, try Mp3 / Tag Studio (www.magnusbrading.com) from Magnus Brading...

It has a batch convert option and can fill out all your tags v1 or v2 through windows explorer file names...

Lo.

89135 2002-10-15 08:00:00 Lohsing - that is also what ID3 tag-it does, and converts between tag versions, and stores more than one tag version so that compatibility is increased (eg all my mp3's have both v1.1 and v2.3 tags.

Susan, here (http://www.id3-tagit.de/) is a link. Click on the UK flag for english.

I also ran across a few on google that could also be good.

89136 2002-10-15 08:08:00 I use tagscanner, which I'd imagine has similar funtionality to those already suggested. It's a free download from download.com, about 1 meg.
lets you do batches and can fill in the tags from the filenames...
if you want I can even email it to you....

personally I just stick with the v1 tags. Mostly all you need is the artist, album and song names, possibly the year and genre. I mean that's what I need. Anything else would just be for interests sake I guess.
