Is there any piece of software that can help a degenerate like me fix my MP3 collection to not be such a fucking messy nightmare? Paid or free doesn't matter to me.
I assume your problem is with the metadata? Just search for a "free mp3 audio tag tool" or similar and you should be able to find several options. Some of them might only do 100 tracks for free but there are workarounds. I've used several of them but it's been years. Nowadays I just rip all my own CDs into .flac with EAC or ABCDE depending on which computer I'm using and let it do the tagging for me.
Pretty sure you could edit them in windows too?
You certainly can but it would take ages for more than a handful of tracks. It's not practical when there's been automated solutions around for two decades already.
I think the poster above is referring to one that does it automatically. I don't remember what I used but I had all four letters filenames after pulling my mp3's from an iPod after my computer crashed. Found a program that basically interpreted the actual song rather than relying on metadata and it fixed all those files for me.
