Automatic mp3 tagger how to#
I thought there was sufficient ambiguity in how to classify their music to generate quite a varied set of results.
I did a test to see which was best, looking at the legendary Led Zeppelin as a case study. I thought these ones could do the trick if there were a way of getting the data into an ID3 tag: There are a number of good databases out there that genre population could come from. It made sense to me that with all the tagging software and mp3 databases out there, there should be a successful solution. This would be a necessary step in reaching my mp3 nirvana.Īs a first foray into genre tags, I thought I would start by looking for an automatic method for populating the field. I wanted to get my genres into shape, not because of my crusade against badly tagged mp3s, but because they have the potential to help hugely in coordinating my listening and building playlists of similar types of music. I am not dealing with ratings here - there's a whole post in itself. After processing my entire collection, I sat back and saw that two things that were still missing: My previous posts on mp3 tagging have focused on processes, software and automated ways of beating mp3s and tags into shape. Apologies for the length of this particular diatribe, but it can't be made any more succinct. However, I have done a fair bit of research on the matter, and that's what I want to lay out here as it may save some of you a lot of time to get to where I am (still without a solution, but a lot wiser nonetheless). Right now, I haven't formed a final opinion on whether I like them or not and if they're worthwhile, but I haven't fully committed to using them on my collection yet. Genres are a tricky business and crawling the web has shown that listeners either love or hate them.
