Great way to fix my huge library.

Over the last 15 years I’ve ripped over 1000 of my own CD’s using various applications on different operating systems. Needless to say there are problems and inconsistencies with my tags. I am now using Tagr 4.11.0 to fix my entire library. The interface is simple, intuitive, and effective. I don’t really care about album art, streaming, or iTunes, even though it does well with these. Working with simple lists in the interface I am able to straighten out my tags quickly and easily. I did have a problem that took me days to resolve. Some album names didn’t display in my mp3 player properly. I would name the file “Beatles”, change the tags to “Beatles”, but the player that came with my phone would display “The Beatles” and index it under “T”. I thought there might be duplicate tags in the files. After many unsuccessful attempts to fix it, including trying other tag editors and mp3 players, I finally determined what was wrong. I found an app that stripped away all tags. The album showed up in my player as “Unknown”, proving the tags were gone. I added back the tags, and the player showed the album as “The Beatles” even though it wasn’t tagged that way. So it turned out that the players (I tried several) all took it upon themselves to rename the artists even though they were not set to download or correct anything. During this process I sent an email to the author of Tagr and he responded by the next day with some good insight and suggestions. Kudos to him. For anyone who might read this that is having problems with your tags, if you correct your tags and they still aren’t right, it’s probably your player.
