File naming batch on OSX

[Darkatek]

I don´t know about ITag but i can say i used about 5 different Mp3 Tagging software and the best by far is Trainspotter - http://www.tspotter.net/

It´s free and it basically finds the release of your mp3 on Discogs and Beatport and gives you the options (cause the same mp3 is very often released in compilations and re-editions etc...). You tick the one it corresponds to and voilá... It not only tags all the fields of the mp3 correctly as it adds the artwork.

Totally recommend it to all digital DJ´s.

I use this, probably the same as iTag but it's a script that Itunes uses so no .app installed, It writes the ID3 tag "artist - track" or whatever you specify to the file name.

you can also edit the script so you don't get the popup every time

Just another quick vote for this script. I've used this for years, & it's part of my workflow with any new muisc I add to my DJing collection on my lappy.

Duuuuude! That's just what I've been looking for!! That guy has a lot of great iTunes scripts on his page. Already put this one to use and I'll say I like the simple quick nature of it!

I forgot to mention another 2 little apps i found really usefull and are also free and work with Itunes probably in same way as the one laurens mentioned.

Tune Instructor http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/285...0%A2instructor which has a really easy and user friendly interface

Clochette http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31754/clochette

But i think to organize and rename files on ITunes Tune Instructor rocks and i only rarely use Clochette.

I guess it´s a matter of preference of interface that will decide what you´ll use.
Now i only use Trainspotter to properly Tag all my mp3´s, and Tune Instructor to rename the original files according to the name on ITunes after tagging them properly.

Give them a go and see what works best for you
