If you have a large unorganized using library what you need is an MP3 tag fixer. Having correct ID3 tags is the basis of having an organized music collection. When a program like iTunes or Windows media player groups or sorts songs they do it by the details listed in the music tags. So if you spell and artist name with a capital letter once and a lowercase letter somewhere else to program sees them as two different artists. Same thing with putting a dash anywhere in the artist's name like Jay-Z. Most MP3 tag fixers only assist you in editing your music and you'll still have to manually type in most or all of the information.

A great solution that will save you a boatload of time is an automatic MP3 tag fixer. Certain programs can scan your music library for missing ID3 tag information and either correct mislabeled information, or fill in missing fields altogether. The work that is done behind the scenes involves an enormous digital music database and the ability to compare and match your songs with the songs in the database. The program actually compares the music file not what is currently typed in to the music tags. So if you had a song on your computer labeled track 01 and unknown artist to program would still be able to find and fix your music.

Along with cleaning mislabeled song files a good MP3 tag fixer will also find you're missing cover art, possibly delete the duplicate song files, and be able to correctly adjust to genre of your albums. Certain programs run alongside of iTunes as a plug-in and provide you with concert alerts, YouTube videos, artist biographies, and even merchandise pertaining to whichever artist is currently playing.

If you are in the market for a premium MP3 tag fixer program there are currently only two that you should even consider. I found a pretty cool website that compares and contrasts the benefits and features of the top software and iTunes and Windows media player organization.
