Identify & retag/rename mp3 collection application?

[ponder]

I've been wanting to identify & retag my mp3 music collection which is in total chaos.

I need an application that will:
1. Identify the song as osme have no details whatsoever, based on a online database of sorts. I suspect it will have to do some form of comparison of the content.
2. Retag/rename all songs in the format of Artist-Album-Song.
3. The processes files must be stored in a new folder/location.

Anybody go any suggestions for something that can do the job well?

I know of a few windows apps like MediaMonkey etc but would prefer a linux tool.

Here's what I use:

http://kid3.sourceforge.net/

Features

With Kid3 you can:

* Edit ID3v1.1 tags
* Edit all ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 frames
* Convert between ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags
* Edit tags in MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA, WAV and AIFF files
* Edit tags of multiple files, e.g. the artist, album, year and genre of all files of an album typically have the same values and can be set together.
* Generate tags from filenames
* Generate filenames from tags
* Rename and create directories from tags
* Generate playlist files
* Automatically convert upper and lower case and replace strings
* Import from gnudb.org, TrackType.org, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Amazon and other sources of album data
* Export tags as CSV, HTML, playlists, Kover XML and in other formats

Requirements

Kid3 uses Qt, id3lib, libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, libFLAC++, libFLAC, TagLib, mp4v2, libtunepimp and runs under Linux (KDE or only Qt), Windows and Mac OS X.

The biggest selling point for me is being able to add customised string replacements for removing whitespace and other kruft. You don't need KDE, it runs quite happily in Fluxbox etc., as long as you have the required libraries.

Does it support an acoustic fingerprint database like MusicBrainz Picard does?

So far I have Cowbell, EasyTag & MusicBrainz Picard installed. I'm just trying to establish which is the best one for the job as I have some obscure stuff in my collection.

If it does support acoustic fingerprints it would be news to me.

I'm busy running MusicBrainz Picard.

How would I change the following,

$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/%album%/$num(%tracknumber%,2) %title%

in order to get the output folders & files as,

/Artist-Album/Artist-Album-Trackname.mp3

 

[ponder]

I've decided not to use separate folders.

This does what I need

%artist%-%album%-%title%
