MP3-Info 2.0

One of my absolute favorite utilities for fast and simple id3 editing has gotten a major upgrade. It's called MP3-Info and it's now a application rather than just a finder contextual menu add-on.

Opening the application brings up a window that offers quick access to a menu for renaming your mp3 based on it's id3 tags. It's not incredibly flexible, but the choices of ways to rename the file are those that most people (myself included) would use.

This is great for all those random mp3 files downloaded from blogs. A couple clicks and they're cleaned up.

Tag&Rename on the Mac

Here's another option for adventurous souls: Tag&Rename on the mac using Darwine for OSX.

While doing a search to find some new tag editors, I came across posts describing the successful use of Darwine and Tag&Rename. I had used Tag&Rename to edit the tags on my mac using pc emulators, but the usage was always clunky and tended to freeze. Plus, I had to install windows and deal with all the pain that the windows os brings with it. (That's why I have a mac, right?)

This time installing darwine and getting Tag&Rename up and running was much faster. I simply installed a Darwine build for OSX, found here and then downloaded the installer for Tag&Rename here.

So far it does a great job at those mass tagging jobs I always end up doing to get all my tags and file names consistent. I tried to drag and drop an image from the mac to apply the album art, but that didn't work.

I'd be curious to hear other folk's experience with this option.
