I hope the problem that I'm about to explain makes sense and I also hope that this program cam help.

A couple of weeks ago my HD blew up, so I had to extract all the MP3's from my IPOD. I found a silly free 3rd party program that did the job I wanted. Sadly it did a bit more then I wanted to. (I totally blame my retardation) It emptyed my IPOD and for some reason renamed a couple of my MP3's.

It removed all ID3 info from the MP3 and renamed the file its self. If the song was called "Jimi Hendrix - Foxey Lady" the stupid prgram renamed the file " -  - Jimi Hendrix - Foxey lady"

So I have 500 songs that have no ID3 info, and tall the files begin with " - - "

that " - - " makes my ipod crazy, it doesnt know hot arrange it and I have to hunt for the songs like a mad man.

Does anyone have any suggestions as how I can fix this with out breaking my mouse and fixing each one by one ?

Thanks ahead of time.

btw below is a sample of a song, its "Handel - Violin Concerto" so you can see a clear example of what I mean.

Simple. :) Just use the "Auto tag" tool with the following (advanced mode) template:

-  - <Artist> - <Title>.mp3

Then, use the "Auto rename" tool with the following template:

<Artist> - <Title>.mp3


This process will restore both the values to your tags, and also restore your filenames.
