Or, Let Picard ID Your Music

If you'd prefer a bit more control over your music id'ing than the previously posted ruby script, then Picard should fit the bill. I'm using it in conjunction with the noted script.

http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardTagger

From the site:

Picard is the next generation MusicBrainz tagging application. This new tagging concept is album oriented, as opposed to track/file oriented like the ClassicTagger was. Picard is written in Python, which is a cross-platform language, and makes use of cross-platform libraries - this allows the same code to run both on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Let Ruby ID Your Music

Tender Lovemaking » Blog Archive » Identifying unknown music with Ruby

A quick intro noted above from the author of the earworm gem. A really cool piece of work for identifying music files.

Here's how I am using it -- note that I'm also using rbrainz, another really neat piece of code.. This code needs to be a bit neater/more functional, but it was a quick solution to a bunch of mp3's pulled down from spinner.com's and daytrotter.com's mp3 of the day pages.

What it does:
Walks a file hierarchy finding *.mp3/*.MP3 files.
Renames the file based on the id3 tags in the file.
Relocates the file into my Music directory in the proper file hierarchy based on the id3 tags.
If it can't id the file via id3 tags, it tries to id the file via rbrainz, and update the tags
If it can, it relocates the file appropriately
If it can't it dumps the file into Music/undertermined -- I can come back next month and try the id again.
