Hi there!
For me, personally, it ofter happens that a certain MP3 file does not have any info in the ID3 tag, it's just the name of the file that gives me the info, for example,
mike verros - melodic aura.mp3
This could happen if a friend gives you a CD and you quickly rip the songs without attaching the info. Anyway, it could happen under other circumstances as well, my point was to give you a tip how to find out some more track info.
- Download the latest version of Winamp player through the official website: www.winamp.com; and install it
- Once you've opened your misterious track, go to the playlist editor, right-click it and click on Track Info (I personally select it and press Alt+3)
- There's the new function called Auto-Tag in the lower-right corner. It will find more info on the web, such as artist, track name and number, year, producer, compilation, etc. GOOD!!!
- If you want to do this to more than one tracks, simply select them, right-click + Send To -> Auto-Tag. Winamp will look them up on the internet and give you suggestions.
Example: Some years ago I quickly copied (ripped) a CD from a friend and I got some tracks with no additional info on them:
M:\Music\TRANCE\Karahana\Karahana_1.mp3
After Auto-Tag I found out:
Track# 1
Title: (Reverse Psychology & Astrix) Karahana 2
Artist: Eyal Barkan
Album: Karahana 2
Year: 1999
It might not be ALWAYS very accurate [check before clicking OK] but better than nothing :)
ENJOY :ooo:
