Automated MP3 Batch Tagger:
Download the zip file here

OS: Windows
COST: Free (As with all of my free software, I appreciate an e-mail from you telling me that you are using it)

The Automated MP3 Batch Tagger is the perfect tool for adding TAGS (meta data) to a number of MP3 files at once. The software adds TITLE, ARTIST, ALBUM, YEAR, COMMENTS, and GENRE to all files in a selected directory. The AUTOMATION & MOVE TO features allow you to set how often you would like to have a tag job run on a directory. Once the files are tagged they can be moved to a "safe" directory so that the next batch of files can be added to the "tagging" directory for the next tagging cycle

• No installation is required
• It adds no files to your system other than the Executable that you download and place.
• It adds nothing to the system registry
• It contains no spyware
• It's free for use.

Installation:

Your system should include all required supporting files. If not, simply Google for any DLL or other supporting files in which you get a "missing file" error for.

• Download the zip file here
• Unzip, and place the following  file in any directory
  
  - mp3batchtagger.exe
  
• Create a shortcut to mp3batchtagger.exe and place it on your desktop

Configuration:

• Enter the common ARTIST, ALBUM, YEAR, COMMENT, & GENRE text into those fields. This is the information that will be tagged into ALL of the MP3 files.
  
• The TITLE tag will use the actual FILE NAME less the file extension.
  
• Use the DRIVE, DIRECTORY, and FILE controls to navigate to the directory that contains the MP3 files that you wish to tag. Only files with the .MP3 extension will be listed.
  
• You can read the CURRENT TAG information for each file by DOUBLE CLICKING the file name.
  
• If you would like the files to be MOVED to another directory after they are tagged, CHECK ON the check box (Move to directory after tagging) and enter the path of AN EXISTING DIRECTORY. Example: c:\taggedfiles. The directory MUST already exist. If not, the application will error message you.
  
• Press the TAG THEM button, and the tags will be placed in all of the MP3 files in the selected directory.
  

AUTOMATION:

• Use the AUTOMATION combo box to select how often (in minutes) you would like the software to perform a tag job on the selected directory. You also can enter non-integer values (Example: .5 = 30 seconds)
  
• The MOVE FILES feature is especially handy in the automation mode. If you would like the files to be MOVED to another directory after they are tagged, CHECK ON the check box (Move to directory after tagging) and enter the path of AN EXISTING DIRECTORY. Example: c:\taggedfiles. The directory MUST already exist. If not, the application will error message you.
  
• Press the START BUTTON to begin the countdown. The AUTOMATION COUNTDOWN field will begin counting down the time (in seconds) to the next batch job
