Mangled my mp3 tags, easy fix?

[lost in espace]

I have managed to use mediamonkey to overwrite my mp3 tags for the album and artist. I am wondering if there is a magic piece of software that can identify a file and tag it accordingly?

Any wizard ideas?

Hi,

I've done this before, best thing is to download Musicbrainz Picard (http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardDownload).
It uses some acoustic ID fingerprinting (AKA magic) and does an online lookup and writes the MP3 tags correctly.
Also has the abilioty to add albumart automagically, set genre's via Last.fm, and rename and move the files as well.

I've sorted over 40,000 MP3's using this, takes a while but worth it.

Thanks dazzler off to un-mangle now!

sounds pretty good, though looking at the guide on there, it looks like you have to process music one album at a time...

I have a thousand-ish mp3's either with rubbish tags or none at all, and was wondering if it would work if I just threw the whole lot at it?!
