Using CDDB to Fill ID3 Information in Existing MP3s?

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)?"

    old lovers and asked him to come over to keep him company while mike was
    working in the fields on the farm.
    after working in the fields for a few hours mike had to come back to the
    house to get a few more things he forgot that he needed to work in the
    fields again.when mike got back to the house he walked into the bedroom to
    get the things that he had forgot.when he got into the bedroom he caught
    billy in his bed with his with billy's old lover and he got real mad over
    that and pulled billy out of his bed and dragged billy into the lounge room
    naked to find out why billy was sleeping with his old lover,
    while they were yelling at each other in the lounge room,billy told mike
    things have not been working out for them for a few months now.when mike
    heard that he exploded again at billy then told told billy to get his old
    lover out of the bed and get him out of the house with his old lover by
    time i got back to the house again.
    after mike said that to billy he stormed out of the house and went for a
    drive in the desert with his dog ranger.while mike was driving in the
    desert not far from his house.he saw this young boy walking in the
    desert.so mike stopped by the young boy are you lost. the young boy says im
    lost and could you give me a ride and on the way mike starts to rub bobby's
    leg. while mike's dog is in the back of the jeep and he starts licking
    mikes face. and its like a desert so mike pulls off to pee and bobby sees
    mike's dick. and then then ranger starts to lick mike's cock after he had a
    pee and bobby's cock gets hard looking at seeing mike peeing in the desert.
    Then mike says its to hot to wear clothes so lets take them off so i do and
    then mike comes over to sucks bobby's cock after awhile ranger starts to
    lick bobby's face which is a shock to him at first then bobby decides to
    gets out the jeep to help mike put a blanket on the ground.as I got out of
    Mike's jeep and he had the blanket already on the ground. Why don't you
    take off your clothes now Bobby? he said. It was hot so I pulled off my
    shoes and socks and tee shirt and was pulling down my shorts when I looked
    over at Mike.
    He was already naked and I got horny when I saw his dick hanging down. It
    was bigger then mine but it didn't have any hair on it, bobby said. The
    only other men I saw naked were my older brothers and my dad and they all
    had lots of hair there. So I asked him why he didn't have any hairs down
    there.He said because I shave down there, Bobby I don't like hairs there.
    He said to lie on the blanket and he would get me some water since it was
    so hot in the desert. So I lay on the blanket on my belly and all of a
    sudden I felt something cold on my butt. I jumped and turned and Ranger had
    his nose in my butt. I laughed and Mike did to. He likes your butt
    bobby. Mike said to me. He laughed to. Yeah I guess he does. What kind of
    dog is he? He's pretty. He is a yellow lab Bobby. Him and me are very good
    friends.Oh, cool. I told him and Mike came and laid on the blanket with me. I
    turned over again and was talking to Mike and I felt the cold nose
    again. Stop it! I laughed as I told Ranger to go away. Bobby Ranger likes
    your butt. If you want I'll show you what Ranger does real good. Ok what
    does he do? I asked him. Well put your hands on your butt cheeks and open
    up your crack a little and wait. Just close your eyes ok So I did.
    Wow! Man that feels great what's he doin' Mike? Ha ha he is licking your
    butt Bobby do you like that? Yes!! I never felt anything like that! Does he
    lick yours to Mike? Yes Bobby he does. I like it. He does more then that
    too! What does he do Mike? Here Bobby I will show you. I watched Mike get
    on his hands and knees and then he made a sound for Ranger to come here. I
    was totally freaked when I saw Ranger get on Mikes back and put his dog
    dick in Mikes butt!OMG!! Mike don't that hurt!?? I watched as Ranger's big
    dick went all the way in Mike's butt and Mike moaned.
    Mike laughed again and said no it feels great and I should try it. So I
    said ok let me and Mike got up and he took Ranger over to me. Bobby, do
    like I did and get on your hands and knees ok? So I did it. I felt Ranger
    licking my hole and it tickled real good. Ok I'm ready I said. I felt
    Ranger get on me and Mike took his dick and put it by my hole.Ow!! Oh man
    Mike its way to big! But Mike said to hold still I will like it. So I
    did. Oh ohhhhhh oww! Mike! It hurts but I like it to! Oh man it makes my
    dick tickle to! Wow! Mike watched as Rangers dick disappeared in my butt.I
    felt his big dick swell inside of my butt and it hurt but it made me feel
    real horny.
    My dick never felt so good and it was real hard and even though I never
    cummed b4 I knew I was going to cum now. Mike was in front of me and his
    dick was by my mouth. I never sucked a guy before but I opened my mouth and
    Mike put his dick in my mouth and I sucked him. I never felt this good
    before ever I thought. i was never going to cum like this before which
    really excited me lots.While ranger was fucking my ass real hard i started
    to suck hard on mike's dick also which really got him turned on because i
    could hear him moan loudly which also got me turned on also sucking on
    mike's dick and getting fucked by mike's dog ranger.after 5 mins or more i
    could feel ranger blow his hot warm cum inside my ass which turned me on
    and it made me blow my load too.
    Seeing bobby blow his load made mike blow his load in bobby's mouth which
    he really liked the feel of mike's warm sweet cum flowing down his
    throat.After rangers dick was soft he turned himself around to take his
    dick out of bobby's ass.When rangers dick was out of bobby's ass rangers
    jumped back into the back of the jeep and and started to lick his dick
    clean.after relaxing for awhile on the rug with bobby mike asked bobby if
    he liked ranger's dick up his ass and my sweet cum flowing down your throat
    and bobby said he liked it a lot which made mike feel real happy when he
    heard that that he leaned over to bobby and gave him a kiss on the lips
    which bobby liked a lot also.
    Then mike said to bobby we should get going back to the farm before we get
    burnt anymore plus also to see if my ex boyfriend and his lover has left my
    house and bobby agreed with that.then we started to pack up the gear for
    the long drive back home again.bobby said to me do i have wear clothes on
    the way back so i said to him no because it is still hot out here and no
    one will see us if go back to the farm house naked which made bobby happy
    when he heard that.once we got back to the farmhouse and walked inside
    naked we found the house empty which made me and bobby happy to come back
    to a empty house.
    After seeing the house was empty we decided to have a shower together to
    cool down from the long hot ride home.after having some more gay sex in the
    shower together we got out of the shower to go get something to eat.Mike
    said to bobby that he would cook us up something for dinner while bobby
    relaxed naked watching television.after mike and bobby had finished dinner
    mike suggested to bobby about watching a gay video so bobby said yes to
    that then mike went and got one of his numerous amounts of gay videos to
    watch so he and bobby could jack off while watching the video.by the time
    they had finished watching the video they went into mike's room for some
    great gay sex together which they both wanted to happen.
    The next morning after having great gay sex together they got up for a
    shower to wake up.while in the shower they made love again.Then after
    getting out of the shower to have breakfast still naked.bobby asked mike to
    show him around the farm so mike said yes he would show him around the farm
    then bobby said what about clothes and mike said we don't have to wear them
    if you don't want so bobby said i would prefer that which mike was happy
    about.then they walked out the door to have a look around the farm.after
    the door was closed bobby ran towards the barn because he wanted to see the
    barn first.
    Mike told him he had two big horses and a pony and other animals in the
    barn.bobby opened up the big barn doors and saw the horse in the stalls.he
    went over to pat him and his coat was warm and smelled good.Bobby could
    feel his dick getting real hard when he was near the horse.he looked at the
    horse and could see the horses cock slide out too which made bobby's cock
    get even harder still.he looked to see if mike was there yet but he was
    not.so he bent down and stroked the huge horses cock in his hand.bobby haw
    always wanted to touch a horses cock and now he was!the cock got bigger and
    bobby's cock got harder and harder.bobby stroked the horses cock til it was
    fully hard in his hand.
    Bobby wanted to taste the big horses cock in mouth so he bent down under
    the horse and licked it's head.it was between salty and sweet at the same
    time!bobby sucked the horses head into his mouth and at the same time his
    cock drooling precum on to his bare feet as he sucked the horses cock.he
    didn't hear the big barn doors squeak as mike come in.When mike saw bobby
    bent over he walked up behind him and put his big cock against bobby's tiny
    boy hole.he pushed it hard and it popped into bobby's boy asshole.Bobby
    tried to scream but the horse cock head was in his mouth.Mike pushed his
    cock deep into bobby's ass and bobby was loving it all.
    He felt mike's cock swell and fill his boy hole good.he started to suck the
    horses cock head harder and felt the first drips of cum on his tongue.he
    gulped them but more and more was filling his mouth.he had to swallow real
    fast or drown.the cock head had swollen that much it was stuck in bobby's
    mouth.mike was pumping his cock hard and fast now and bobby felt him unload
    big drops of cum inside his hot ass.Bobby's own cock throbbed and shot load
    after load of cum on the hay under the horse.Finally the horse's cock
    flopped out of his mouth.at the same time mike withdrew his red throbbing
    cock from bobby's ass still dripping cum.bobby.after that bobby laid on the
    hay under the horse with mike next to him.they both closed there eyes
    because they were both so used uped and tired that they couldn't moveanymore.
    he wasn't ready for what happened next!he felt this hot liquid drenching
    him which also splashed onto mike.he opened his eyes to see the horse
    pissing on him and mike.he screamed and it got into his mouth!mike just
    laid there and laughed and laughed.after he stopped laughing he said come
    on bobby let's goto the creek so we could wash off there then mike said you

    The dude asked for help.

    No, he didn't. He sassed the poster (who had even offered a helpful explantion of those scary 76 characters of code), played dumb (I say "played" because in the same breath he claimed to be a coder), and then demanded help.

    If he were asking for help, he might have said, "I don't get it! Please tell me more about what 'tr' does!" But he wasn't asking for help, he was throwing a tantrum.

    There are plenty of folks too busy working at their own specialties to learn ours, from farmers to firefighters. The "but it is so simple for ME" attitude is one more reason why Linux is having such a hard slog at displacing Windows.

    I neither said nor implied that it was easy for anybody. All specialties require time and effort; otherwise they wouldn't be specialties. I've helped lots of specialists, from artists to writers to anthropologists to philosophers to grandmothers, gain some geeky knowledge. They were all looking to get something done, and were glad to spend some time learning whatever was necessary to help them get there. Symmetrically, I've been glad to put in some time and elbow grease to learn things in other realms when I've needed it.

    But for the times when I'm not willing to learn how to do it myself, I expect to pay up to have somebody do it for me, and I try to do it with appropriate humility. This guy is saying, "Gosh, I want to do something with my computer, I don't know how, and I'm not willing to learn a thing. So somebody do it for me right now!" This attitude might work if you are Veruca Salt. But although I've helped hundreds of strangers gratis, he won't get anything from me without cash up front.
