Here's the situation: I recently finished a month of converting over my entire collection to MP3, using MJ exclusively. As I'm going through the library, I'm finding some problems. To wit, that some files seem to have had their tags (particularly the genre tag) properly filled, others didn't. HOW this happened is probably worthy of another discussion, but that's all academic now.

I'd like to run a batch on the whole collection and have the tags updated from CDDB if possible. Since all the extant information was filled from CDDB in the first place, this seems doable, but I'm not sure I see how in MJ.

I know that sometimes the CDDB info comes up short. This is not the case. In experimenting, each time I came across an album that didn't have its genre information tagged, I used File-Properties-Tools-Get Information From CDDB, and the missing information was magically there. I've also re-ripped a couple of the same tracks to see what would happen, and again, magically it got filled the second time. Very strange.

I am aware of how to do mass tagging or recategorizing using the other tools, but this is different. We're talking about 23gb of files where some are missing information and some aren't. As far as I understand right now, I can only get the proper re-tagging to happen one file at a time.

That would suck.

Is there a way to do this, run a batch instead of have to update one file at a time?

Thanks.

KingSparta> I have tried several times to register your app with no luck. I got a bounce back from one attempt that reported that the address it was sending to was invalid.

I did notice that this bounce had an attachment that was reported to be an Encrypted Key File, but your app refused to accept it, so I'm assuming that's not it either.

[KingSparta]

never got a e-mail from you, reporting this

when was the last time you tried, before Gracenote CDDB validated\Aproved it?

that encriped key was to be sent to me, to issue you a key code

there was a slight bug before where it world not work.

try it, see what you get... and let me know

King,
   Now that I have switched to ID3v2 tags (MJ8 library changes recently) - is there anything I should know before I give this another try?

not sure what your askiing.

it supports id3v2 now, and id3v1.1 \ id3v2 is default setting. it will automaticly remove id3v2 if you wish.

Maybe, it does have some checking, but tells you if it is not filled out
