Programatically Updating ID3 Tags

I have been hacking around with some batch scripts to do some manipulation of ID3 tags, but I'm not making any progress. Thus, I turn to the [H].

It may turn out that there's an app that already does what I'm looking for, but I've not found it yet.

What I need to do is two-fold:

1) Our music is currently sorted _ON DISK_ in this directory structure: <ARTIST>\<ALBUM>\<TRACK>. <TITLE>.mp3

I have album art in the form of folder.jpg for all of our MP3s. The folder.jpg lives in the <ALBUM> directory. This lets Windows see it as well as iTunes and other MP3 aplications. I need to recursively go through all of our albums (about 1500) and take the folder.jpg for a given directory and apply it to all of the MP3s _in that directory only_. Then, move on to the next directory and so forth.

The goal here is to have the album art embedded as a tag and not rely on folder.jpg for everything.

2) Very few of our albums have playlist files associated with them and this is causing our DNS-323 NAS to mis-parse our albums. Thus, I need to create playlist files so that the NAS will read the album structures properly.

Thanks in advance all!
