Music tag organising and album artwork! help!

finally got my replacement Zen Vision M today and I'm wanting to put all my music back on it this time with the correct song names and artwork, but what programs and how do i go about doing this?


I've tried the tag converter i got with the creative software but it finds the same name for about 10 of the songs on all my albums.

I've also got the all the front cover artwork for all my albums but how do i go about joining the artwork with the album and then getting them both on my Zen?


any help be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I can recommend this free tagging s/w...

Tag&Rename is also very popular, small fee to pay on it.

Both these will do lookups on central databases for a match, but in my experience all the automation in the world does not remove the need for quite a bit of manual intervention to sort out the tags & artwork. That is, if you want to avoid spelling mistakes, capitalisation that's all over the place, 101 different standards, blatant mistakes, and poorly digitised artwork.

The latest version of WMP does automated filling in of tags, I accidentally left it on and have spent a while undoing some of the damage. But I'm a bit anal about tags, some people may be happy with what it tries to do.

Both very good apps, i too had issues with WMP11 deciding it wanted to "correct" all my tags for me and spent some time correcting the album art and tags on 50gb's worth of music. MediaMonkey is my preferred tag editor, works a treat for me. www.mediamonkey.com

Totally agree, great product for free, just trashed and sorted my complete library with artwork (over 11,000 tracks).

I used Album Art Aggregator to sort out all of my album artwork - that was very easy and effective once I got to grips with it.
