Changing genre metadata on music albums

[vim147]

I have 3000 music albums of all sorts which I have just cleaned up using mp3 tagger however I have no genre metadata assigned to each album which would tell me what type of music it is in iTunes player.

Is there a program which would go through all my album collection automatically and assign the genre to it ?

My other option is to do them manually to each album which would take me years !

I have huge collection of music album in my macbook video library, unfortunately some music albums artwork / metadata was missing and i was really disappointed.I was able to use other tag editor software to edit and tag mp3’s the result was not user friendly and little bit confusing. Finally I have been looking online everywhere for something easy Tag editor software.I mostly was using it for Album Art. This app automatically has the album art I was looking for!
So finding this program really has turned my decision around. The software is so easy to use and good time pass to use tagging mp3s especially album art. I am feeling like a true winner after finding this. It is so easy to use. I feel much better than previous one.

Best Music file metadata app, Highly recommended.

i'm at around 2900 albums. I did all the un-genred stuff manually. these days a lot of artists seem to make up genres for themselves. If you don't tame that tendency by limiting the number of possible genres, you end up with an un-navigable mess. Sadly it's only 1 genre per album; sometimes two would be very nice.

If you have much of a classical collection, prepare for a major job. Sometimes John Cage's Ryoanji gets sorted with Hildgard von Bingham, and that's just wrong.
I divide my classical into
Classical guitar (not Kottke0
Baroque Classical
Baroque Classical Choral
Chinese
Classical
Classical Choral
Classical Pop
Early Classical
Early Classical - Chant
Japanese
Jazz Classical
Metal Classical
Modern Classical
Modern Classical -Choral
NeoClassical
Renaissance Classical
Renaissance Classical - Choral
Romantic Classical
Romantic Classical

The above is probably heresy, there are some horribly complicated ways of sorting classical music, but this helps me find what I want to listen to, and that is the point!

No matter which automated service you start with, you are certain to run up against a large collection of genrefications that are hopelessly obscure, weird, or flat out wrong.
The only way to fix those is to do it manually.
