CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Digital music is all well and good, but who wants to type in album and artist information for each track? With the free TagScanner, you don't have to. This efficient and powerful tag editor lets you edit metadata automatically as well as by hand, both for individual files and file batches.
The automatic tagging feature is most impressive. Although it can hit up online databases such as FreeDB, Discogs, and Amazon like many other auto-tagging apps, it can also generate tags from file and folder names--something many others can't. It works in the opposite direction, too, generating filenames from tags.
TagScanner has an elegant and orderly interface, and lets you preview filenames before applying changes. The only catch is that you'll need to spend some time learning the program's file- and tag-naming language. However, if you have thousands of music tracks crying out for organization, that's a small price to pay.

Version: TagScanner 5.1.555
Pros: ITS FREE!!!!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
Cons: Taking the time to learn how powerful this program is because of lack of instructions.
Summary: I breezed through 200 gigs of music! Yes 200 Gigs. That doesn't include 70 gigs of karaoke music. This program helped me realize that around 20% of my music had NO ID3 tags. That meant 20% of my music was basically useless to my DJ program. At first... read more >>
