Organazing All My Media

Thrax · 05-18-2007, 05:35 PM

so anyways I was goin to start orginizing all my media files on the zune software since I use frostwire to DL music and movies and sometimes the name dosen't show nor the album etc...etc... but as I was goin through my playlist and such I thought wow this is goin to take a couple of days trust me thats an understatement since I have over 20 GB's of music so any tips or shortcuts to how I can automate my media organization? Like Programs or something of the sort?

thanks in advance

I really don't know dude.

If I were you i'd just go through them one by one.
but I have lots of time on my hands.

The only thing I can think of is the zune software. you can right click the files and find album info.

also you can select multiple files, and edit them all at once. So if you have all the songs that are in the same album. you can just select them all then change the album info.

I have what I think is the best software, wether you have a full album or not. If you have the whole album it's alot easier, I have over 45G worth of MP3's, ie 12432 songs, and I went thru them all and set their tags and names to be right. I used a program called mp3tag, http://www.mp3tag.de/en/.

If you have the full album, it will allow you to grab the album info from a online site, like freedb, and update for you. if you don't have a full album, but the song has all the info in the file name, you can make the software take it from the file name and put it into the tag info where it should be. I spent about 9 days working on my songs, and got them all right. Also, it can download the album art if you choose the right online source for the data, like amazon. Sometimes it might not find anything, but it might be do to the fact that the songs aren't in the right order. I used the Amazon info checker and made sure they were right. If you need help using the software let me know. Oh and it's free also.

I also went thru and converted all my songs to be 128Kbit mp3s I had songs in every bitrate imaginable, and my file space went from 75G down to 45G. I used a program called dbPowerAmp Music Converter for that, you can find it on the net. You can convert from any song file to any song file with this program.

golden yeah I started to go through the tags and such but it would take way to much time since I add 30-150 songs per day on avrg so I need something quick and easy.

thx leesmann I'll try it out.

You'll like this progrma then, I was/do add close to 1200 songs aday when I add them, and I f them all with in mintues of adding them. So 30-150 shouldn't take all that much time at all.
