Re: from No Album


It looks like your file format is "tracknumber - title" so you could use
MP3Tag to write the tag form the file name (%tracknumber% - %title% i
think) and then add the year & album manuall one album at a a time,
referring to somehting like www.allmusic.com for the info (whilst you
are there you could add the AllMusic review to the comment field too...
which will enable you to read about the album via the controller whilst
listening to it!).

How many albums do you have?

Alternatively there is probably a simpler way to add the data (and
covers probably too) automatically using one of the databases in the
sky (like freedb or Graceland) but someone else will have to tell you
how to do that, as I don't know! :-)

I wonder what tags EAC wrote then.. and why some are missing and some
are not? It's very stange if they are not all missing.

Re: from No Album


Yes very strang.  It does seem to be track number - title.  Really, on
SB it gives all the correct info as you go along ie Rock - Yes -
1971-Fragile - track - Artist Yes - but then, No album.

Anyway I have about 250 albums and hope to figure out how to add the
appropriate tags with too much effort.  Just ripped CDs in the last two
weeks so and a little burned on it right now.

Look to add the cover art some day and may some of the comments stuff
you mentioned.

Thanks again.  This site is very helpful thanks to you guys!

Re: from No Album


OK I think I can better explain the problem.  EAC ripped the cds and
placed them in folders by genre - artist - year - album.  However, all
this folder info did not get to the tags as I assumed it would.  Now
the tags do not have genre, album and year, ie the folder info.  How
can I transfer folder info to tags?

Re: from No Album


Open the files in MP3TAG & select the files you want, then via the
convert menu go filename - tag.

You'll probably then find that you can now populate any missing tags
using freedb...
