    Hi Guys,

    does anyone know of any software to sample songs, look them up on the internet and re-name and re-tag them?

    need to sort out my music collection, coming from a windows 2000 install and loads of devices means my libary is really messed up.

    if there is anything out there that could work miracles like this, let me know :D

    It doesn't sample but MediaMonkey does a very good job of organising and tagging tracks.

    Who knows, maybe someone has written a plugin for it that can sample, it has a lively community.

    Cool.

    One tip I would give you. If you set the option to store album art inside the tag/MP3 file, WMP will pick it up automatically. However, if you use external images then WMP won't see them and will want to download all those "folder.jpg" files and store them all over the place (whose stoopid idea was that!).

    It is set in one of the option dialogs, can't remember which one and I am at work so can't look right now.
