Seconded. I initially considered writing a script to rename a huge pile of MP3 files, but halfway through, I thought, "there's *got* to be a better way". I found this app: http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm Bought it the next day. Holy crap, what a gigantic timesaver. It looks up albums based on track lengths, downloads titles from freedb and Amazon, does ID3 tagging, renaming, moves files into separate directories... I busted through about 20 gigs of MP3s in three days. I kid you not. If this is just a fun toy Python project, don't let me discourage you, but if you have more than a handful of albums to rename, trust me. This problem has been solved. Here's a list of apps, including Tag&Rename, that can query freedb: http://www.freedb.org/freedb_aware_apps.php -- .:[ dave benjamin: ramen/[sp00] ]:. \\ "who will clean out my Inbox after I'm dead[?]" - charles petzold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
