My personal favorite in this category (a portable version is available) | Quote: | TagScanner is a multifunction program to organize large music collections. It can edit tags of mostly state-of-the-art audio formats, rename files based on the tag information, generate tag information from filenames, and perform any transformations of the text from tags and filenames. Also you may get album info via internet music database freedb.org. Supports ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis comments, APEv2, WindowsMedia and MP4(iTunes) tags.

Very nice looking app.
Good features too, although I have my favorite (commercial though) Tag & Rename
There is another free one, Godfather with equaly powerful features.

I used to use GF, but I don't like its ergonomy (not intuitive to me). What I really liked about GF was the cover art search on Amazon websites (but I don't need it anymore).
Tagscanner is fast and easy: once you know it, any operation takes only few seconds. The only missing feature is file/folder drag & drop support on the UI (d&d of a file on a shortcut to the program works though) |

Thats pretty big failure to me. Tag&Rename doesn't have this limitation, furthermore u open a folder from context shell extension. You can save your renmaing action as a button on a tullbar so if you use it a lot, and you generaly use 1 or 2 patterns, you just open it, click and exit. It also has all that supportive thingies like amazon search, freedb etc.. And its portable.

I have emailed the author for drag and drop support (and covert art search). So now, wait and see.
Tag&Rename seems great, but I prefer stick to freewares (and open source when available) rather than sharewares. |

You can easily find free version. Nothing illegal in using shareware programs for free, if you can "fix" them on certain way.
Anyway, it may be better to ask author for shell extension support, after all, its pretty easy to add it.
