Using CDDB to Fill ID3 Information in Existing MP3s?

Posted by Cliff on from the name-that-tune dept.

masonbrown asks: "I've got about 2000 songs in my MP3 collection, using iTunes on the Mac. I'd love to fill in the empty ID3 tags such as Album Title, Date, etc. automatically from something like CDDB. Is there any way to automate this after the song is already in MP3 format (like going by Artist and Song Title)?"

    A long time ago I wrote a program which can, Among other things, re-tag mp3s based on the filename. This isn't exactly CDDB, but it's a start.

    It's a perl program, so it Should run on OS X without modification, so long as you've got it's perl module requirements taken care of.

    The program is called The MP3 Butler, and you can get it from http://babblica.net/mp3butler.
