ID3-Tagit

Post by **mid_gen** » Tue Dec 03, 2002 7:31 pm

I've spent 8 hours over the last 2 days tagging all my MP3's properly. Couldn't have done it without ID3-TagIt.

It'll pull information from filenames to ID3 tags and vice versa, plus mass tagging and lots of other gubbins.

Highly reccomended.

PS I expect a beer from anyone who leeches my MP3's at shotgun now

How many MP3's have u got?

Post by **mid_gen** » Tue Dec 03, 2002 8:57 pm

4290 songs, 20.5Gb. All full albums and now properly tagged. Plus a big fat stack of CDs still needing ripping

4290 thats makes my 50 odd MP3's look very small indeed. Whats the best MP3 ripper atm?

I use audiograbber with Lame, does exactly what it says on the tin, and it's fast.

I've also heard good things about EAC, particularly for ripping scratched/damaged CDs, apparently it does a real good job of getting a clean rip.

I quite like CDEX, but that's mostly because it supports OGG Vorbis natively, which is nice...

AltoMP3 is quite good
Rip CDs fast at perfect output quality

Supports both ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags

WAV to MP3 Converter

WAV to OGG Converter

MP3 to WAV Converter

No more typing - grab song titles, album titles, and other artist information directly from the Internet using freedb.

Easy to use and intuitive interface makes CD ripping fun!

freedb is great but you do have to be careful about multiple entries due to stupid people typing in the wrong names.

When will they all realise that they should just kill them selves

P.S. sorry but it really bugs me.

Oh, and it's free too. Open Source, I seem to remember ^_^
Uses that CDDB thing... or FreeDB - whatever. Seems to work.

The CDDB on CDex is a god sent,
I got 1548 and that 6gb,
I'm ripping about 15 cds a day at the mo so it is constantly expanding.

Seahorse · Post by **Seahorse** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 2:28 pm

I don't have 14 days to spare ripping mine...

Post by **mid_gen** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 7:12 pm

90% of ripping utils support CDDB.

Audiograbber, EAC, CDeX, Musicmatch, Beoplayer etc etc. It's not a stand-out feature, it's a requirement

Phaliure · Post by **Phaliure** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 7:28 pm

The best thing is that it is free,
In my line of work this is a huge bonus.

Can I just say my flat mate wins this pissing contest... 16767 is the official total

shrek · Post by **shrek** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 9:19 pm

How many gigs is that pete?

Seahorse · Post by **Seahorse** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 9:44 pm

If 1,222 = 4.5 gigs, then 16,767/1,222 = 13.72.

Therefore 4.5 x 13.72 = 61.74 Gig

A rough approximation for sure, but close enough for Govt work...
