Guess I'm a little more reckless with my machine...don't really mind the freeware, as long as it has widespread acclaim and good reviews. I think I used ID3-TagIT a couple of years ago. I sat down and tackled my entire MP3 collection...changed every file name so that it was of a standardized format ("Artist - Title") and then set the tagging app to extract the tags from the file names according to that format. There is also an excellent app which goes through your entire collection and retrieves all the tag info from the internet, including genre, album, year of release and all that jazz. However it's about $40 and there was no way I was going to spend that much when quite frankly I can get by with just artist/title.

They still have Pyro?  Wow...  I bought mine from them probably 15 years ago!  (I hope they've updated it since. )

See I don't like software doing that kind of crap which is what WMP and most others do. WinAmp was a great little program. Essentially I think with Pyro I've got the features I want from WinAmp's library, Wavelabs tagging/CD architect capabilities (I think it's redbook level tagging... not sure though), Nero's burning functions and it's all Cakewalk so it shouldn't bork up anything on my system.

It also seems to have some recording capabilities too so it might be good for when I want to digitize my tape collection and stuff instead of dinking around in Sonar if I don't intend to do any remastering.

Like I said though... I was quite surprised I couldn't use Sonar for proper tagging especially considering I bought the Suite but whatever. I essentially got it for free because of this bonus.

Already downloaded it. Now I'm going through the rest of the free stuff in my account.

And thanks for the heads up, scook. I probably would have seen it at some point before the deadline but perhaps not. According to my store account it was indeed a time sensitive offer so don't drag your feet fella's.

Cheers.
