MP3 catalog

[ToiletDuck]

is there a program that will not only catagorize my mp3's but also find out who sings the songs and such. I have about 3k songs and I don't want to have to go in and find if there are multiples of each song and such.

winamp5 with media library?

[ToiletDuck]

yea i have that but it doesn't tell me if i have duplicate songs. I use to be a DJ and ton's of mixes so I have random songs everywhere.

does winamp not play .wmv songs?

Is there somthing wrong with media player 9?? Seems that would be the most logical choice?!?!

In terms of automatically finding out information about the song - then using musicbrainz (http://www.musicbrainz.org) is a good bet (generates a hash based on the audio content of the track and then attempts to match it against songs in it's database), though you'll probably find that most of your songs aren't in the database (though it may have improved over the course of the last year).

Other than that, I can't really recommend anything (I have written a program in java that goes through *my* collection and tries to detect duplicate tracks based on matching similar filenames but this is very much tailored towards my collection and is probably unlikely to give you any results....)
