I am looking for a program that will organize and synchronize all my music. When I say "synchronize" my music, I am looking for something that will properly label all the bands, albums, and songs rather than having to do each MP3 file individually. Do you guys recommend or know any programs that will allow either properly download and configure each artist/album or allow me to edit multiple files at once?
 
A friend of mine swears by musicbrainz. I personally have never used it.
 
I've only used their web utilities and didn't even know they had a Windows client. Thanks I'm trying it now.
 
You can also do album lookup in Media Monkey (which uses Amazon)...that would be my recommendation for an app right there.

If you're looking for something that you want to let it do everything on it's own - don't. The Zune software (and somewhat also WMP) will do all the lookup and tagging automatically if you let them, but results are a mixed bag (especially if you have any albums that are not cookie cutter variety; ie special editions, deluxe editions, or even worse - import albums or anime).
 
Does anyone know, when using Zune to update the files, does it embed album artwork in the MP3 file, or in a separate database (like iTunes)?
 
I believe it saves a jpeg in the album directory like WMP (instead of embedding the artwork), but I could be wrong.

Thx for the info.

Definitely NOT what I want. I know it is not very space efficient, but I always put the album artwork in the file. That makes the MP3 fully standalone. I can move it to another machine, another account, or whatever.
 
I use MusicBrainz to fetch tags for all my music and because it supports vorbis tags cause all my stuff is FLAC. I can't stand it when people throw ID3 tags on FLAC files. Completely non-standard and most players will ignore them if they are actually coded right.
 
I have about 40K songs. While I still use WinAmp to play, MEDIAMONKEY has been a miracle working in cleaning up the file names, tags, folders and coverart..

while its not completely automated and perfect, it is by far the easiest ive seen to maintain a large collection.
