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 build 510 Beta
Pros: I hardly ever feel compelled to write a review. For this product I, however, gladly make an exception. It's brilliant, once you know how to use it. The interface is pretty pretty and easily understandable. The rename function and the preview is great, as is the acces to the freedb database.
Cons: It could have done with explanations (e.g. when you hoover over something with your mouse, it tells you what you can do) for the different functions, but otherwise none whatsoever.
