  "Gets the job done pretty well"

  Pros

  1. Can tag video files as TV Shows, which is something iTunes doesn't do.
  2. Data lookup from tagChimp is pretty slick

  Cons

  1. After finding the data you want from tagChimp, you need to click 'Check all fields' in order to ensure that all that great data gets written.
  2. There are a few iTunes fields that aren't supported, in particular "track x of y" and "disk x of y".

  Summary

  If you rip TV episodes from DVDs to use in iTunes, then you want this app, even if only to tag the files as TV Shows - otherwise, iTunes will import as movies!
  The community developed database at tagChimp.com is the core of what makes this app work, but the tagChimp is still young. Hopefully, it will improve over time. Data from tagChimp isn't always perfect, and tagChimp doesn't yet support editing... Also, tagChimp will sometimes have multiple entries for the same item. Not really a fault of the program, but a limitation on its usability none the less.

  Track x of y and disk x of y are supported. They're on the advanced tab.
