I know many KJ's here also have nice libraries of regular MP3's like myself for DJing along with hosting KARAOKE

I'm looking for a program that will be able to READ my mp3's and CORRECT file names - IDENTIFY DUPLICATES and reorganize by ARTIST /ALBUM / TITLE

I've tried (2) this week that I am not happy with
FIXTUNES
MP3 Music Organizer Pro - Full version

ANYONE SUGGEST SOMETHING ELSE ?

I gave up trying to organize mine its all screwed up. One reason i use roxbox I have numerous playlists I can switch to in a second/. Choice of autoplay, random or auto remove.

Tag & Rename. Been using it about 10 years now, and still serves its purpose fine.

For the record: My MP3s are organised into 5 main folders ("Albums","Compilations","Soundtracks","Singles","Utilities")

In folders where it is relevant ("Albums","Soundtracks","Compilations") the format is:
{Album Artist} - {Album Title}\({Disk #} - {Track #}) {Artist} - {Title}.mp3

Otherwise simply:
{Artist} - {Title}.mp3

Every single MP3 is correctly tagged with Artist, Title, Album Artist, Year, Genre, Track #, Disk #

I can view them in Winamp or iTunes, so have a number of playlists generated and ready to roll.

Moreover (and this is possibly illegal but sue me!) the library exists on:

My Laptop
My Server
My iPod
2 removable hard drives

I make no apologies for the above - my music has cost me a LOT of money over my lifetime, and I refuse to give in to arcane laws. I only use 1 version of it at a time.

It get even worst if you have songs in 5 different languages. :(

Well... It can only do what it knows...

So are your files all ID3 tagged?
Are your files all named in a specific way (inc folder)?

If so - I personally would "normalise your naming and tagging" so all files are named and/or tagged in a consistent way.

Move them all into 1 shared folder

Allow Tag&Rename to do it's work.

I mean, if I dropped all mine into 1 big folder, I could easily let Tag&Rename sort them into folders:

By artist then by year
By genre, then by artist, then by album

etc

Another though:

Does it matter?

Bare with me... Using a decent app such as iTunes or Winamp, physical folder heirarchy is ignored, and their libraries allow you to select via whatever means necessary.

You might want to try this freeware :wink:

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

It will also let you export your tags.

I agree with karyoker I use Roxbox. It is simple, quick and easy
