Over the PAST 5 years I have gather over 5000 different MP3, CMA, and other types of digital music files. Over TIME they have become very disorganized and I have learned to live with it until now.

My work just gave me a digital media player (Toshiba Gigabeat, 30 gig). I uploaded my music and now I am having a terrible listening to music. The media player is great and has a lot of nice option. But since my music is so unorganized, I find myself listen to Metallica one minute and Billy JOEL the next. This is such a mood KILLER !!!!!

So now I have a strong need to reorganize my music. Some files have the COMPLETE information like artist, album, title, genre, …. But most do not. Is there a program that will AutoTag these files and also configure all my music in the same labeling format?

Also I noticed that there are like 50 different genres. Is there a way to narrow this down?[/b]

Any suggestions on a method to organize 5000 songs or any kind of software suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a Bunch
What music handling software do you currently have installed on your computer? Here's a Microsoft page which might help: Organize your digital media collection. You might find some more HELPFUL info by plopping your question, How do I organize digital music?, into a Google search box.Thanks for the post Soybean. I uses windows media player. I did use google and it pionted me to fixtunes and monkey media. I tried both and the auto tag option did not seem to work.
