When I ripped songs years ago I never filled in a lot of information like track and genre and what not, is there anyway for a matched song to get the tag details from iTunes servers so I can use these various playlists on my phone?

Thank you in advance!

Any of these 3rd party softwares any good?

99% of my songs matched, what software out there will match it to say exactly what iTunes would have?

I've no idea, actually. I've seen them mentioned and available on download sites, but I usually just fix my tags myself.

If you're willing to spend $10 on the Mac App Store, (assuming you have a Mac) check out Tagalicious.

It's far from perfect, but it did help me with 1,000 or so of my songs in a matter of minutes.

I got Tagalicious from the developers website because the Mac App Store version has the lyrics feature stripped out. In case that's important to you.

Not from iTunes. There's third party software that will do it.

Many times even ripped CDs have improper info or are missing lyrics so considering match is a paid service and iTunes has one of the worlds largest music databases the it would make sense to have this be an included feature for those who want to use it.
