Please suggest a good MP3 Organizer software - Preferably open source / Freeware

I have a lot of MP3 songs in my PC. Most of them are legal (lol yes, most, honestly

) like Instrumental, carnatic music, bhajans etc. Majority are downloaded from various sites. I well arranged them in folders, but the songs title has some problems. Like the file names are correct in most cases.

Example : Meera_Bhajan_Auradha_Paudwal.mp3

But the title etc (that we see in winamp and when played in car stereo - set to show title) are shown as the site names form where I downloaded. I know it can be changed by rt clicking the mp3 and editing its ID3 tags, but doing one by one manually won't be easy for me as I have a huge collection.

Any good (opensource / freeware preferred) software that does it automatically ? Like mass editing of ID3 tags like for example

Change Title = Folder name + song file name

Something like that is possible in any softwares ? Anyone use such softwares ? Please suggest a good one.

Thanks a lot - in advance.

PS : Anyone want to share legal / non-copyrighted mp3 ? My area of interest (rt now, it may change later lol) is Hindustani, Bhajans, Classical, Instrumental etc.

Edit

On a second thought, I think I will make a simple php script instaed. It has mp3 ID3 tag functions I think. May be will make it using those functions. Will keep you updated ..

bah a php script for this is a bad idea... you can corrupt files

better use a id tag editor....

@DigitalDude

How it will corrupt ?

My idea is simple, not sure it wil lwork or not ..

List all files in a folder, use folder name + file name and make it as the ID3 Title. So it wil be like

Hindi Bhajans - Anuradha Paudwal - Jai Ganesh Deva

That idea should work isn't it ? Folder name is already there correctly.

arre din bhaiyya install MediaMonkey,its da best one.I started using it couple a months back and I am loving it.Tagging and arranging is very easy.

MediaMonkey will be ok for my needs ? Like tag can be set based on file name ? Anyway downloading it now ...
