As your music collection grows with such easy options as iTunes, MP3 dot com, and Amazon MP3 available to purchase music, we need equally easy ways to organize our collections. And with MP3 ID3 tags, sorting your collection has never been easier.
I'm sure your MP3 player shows some of your songs as “Track 1” by “Unknown Artist”. This is because the tag information for your music collection is missing or wrong. If cover flow in iTunes looks like a sea of gray squares you need to update your MP3's album art. And it can be almost impossible to find your favorite song when the album information is missing. Or even the style of music your want without the genre tag. That's a lot of information once you include the production year, track number, and lyrics. Finding and entering all that information would take hours to not only find. Let alone update for each MP3 ID3 tag individually.
Previously you would need to use software like iTunes or Tag and Rename to manually edit the title, album, band, genre, and a dozen other bits of information. But only after you had first scoured the internet for all the information and dug up good looking album art.
