Well, you use windows explorer to locate your music and then copy them to clipboard. You then alt tab to the audigen explorer window and paste them into the audio tracks folder. This doesn't actually move your music so you won't be wasting valuable disc space. What it does is take the MP3 tags from the files and create your database entries from those tags.
If you have incomplete tags, they will be filled with "unknown artist" for example. You can then edit them in audigen explorer either individually or select a batch of files and change the tag information in all of them in one go. You can download a free trial of the program that will have most of the functionality of the full program but will only let you paste in 100 tracks. Thiss is enough to know if the program will be useful to you or not. Regards.
