Getting info from FreeDB

If you have all files from an album, but names of files are like 01.mp3, 02.mp3 etc and you don't have any tags, than nor renaming files according to the tags neither generation of tags from the names and files and folders are not viable options. Usually you would end up with entering all information manually, but not with mp3Tag 4!

mp3Tag 4 has a unique capability to generate base tags fields using information requested from Internet FreeDB servers. These servers store information about Music CDs, which was added by users. Although instead of an Audio CD you have a set of compressed files in MP3 or an other format it is not a problem. mp3Tag emulates a CD and requests the description from FreeDB and can store the information on request.

To request information from FreeDB do the following:

1. Select all files.
2. Click on the "Generate tags" button.
3. Open tab "Get data from FreeDB".
4. Check only files included in one album.
5. Sort the list of tracks in the order of the original CD.
6. Press button "Get album info".
7. Optionally choose the correct CD.
8. The window will appear with information about the CD.
9. If it is what you requested press button "Save tracks info".

After that you have files with filled in tags. It will be easy to rename files as you like.
