  1. For years I have ripped the few good songs from my CDs onto my HDD and named them manually. My format is "Artist - Track Title.mp3" None of these are arranged in album order; I just dump all the Rock songs into a folder named Rock, for example. This process always worked well since I never processed more than a few songs at a time.

    But now I have quite a collection built up and want to use them in my media center.

    The media center can do lots of neat stuff with music once it is properly tagged. But I have no tags. I have managed to use software like The Godfather to batch process my filename data into proper tag data. But that doesn't include the album or any other neat info like the year or genre.

    I'd like to find a tool that will batch process my files to retrieve at least the album title and genre from FreeDB based on just the artist and title found in the file name. Additional data would be nice, too. I anticipate needing to manually approve each album title selection from a dialog since one track can be found on multiple albums. Haven't had much luck so far with Godfather, ID3 Renamer, Tag&Rename, AudioGrail, MediaTagger or ID3Sync.

    Any suggestions on another tool to use, or tips on how to use one of these tools to do what I want?

    This question is cross-posted from MSFN. Hope that is OK.

  2. Has this been used with Windows 2000? I get a windows installer error. (I am doing in a virtual machine, of course).
    What error? I had a similar issue with another VMT installer a while back and traced it back to my removal of the Help subsystem. VMT (or WI?) needs certain files associated with that subsystem in order to install.
