For some reason, when I was first introduced to MP3s, my nice but somewhat misinformed friend told me that it’s better to rename the files and then remove the ID3 tags from the file. Sigh… how wrong we were in our youthful innocence! In the time since, I’ve accumulated rather a large chunk of music, and was just starting to figure out how to program my own tag-fixing thing when I came across the incredible creation that is MusicBrainz . It took a couple days to run through all the files, auto-group them into albums, and tag, rename, and move them appropriately, but was it ever worth it!
