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 5.0.531
"Excelent time saving program"
Pros: Filename renaming, album cover can be saved with the track, ability to preview before you commit
Cons: No tutorial. Learning how to use its function is by trial and error
Summary: Very very useful program. Sadly there doesn't seam to be any Tutorial or help files so learning all it features and how it worked took some time and almost put me off using it. But once I worked it out I was happy I persevered. One feature that woul... read more >>
