I used to use Tag & Rename, as it used CDDB and All Music Guide to get it's
results. The AMG method seems to have broken down over time (used a screen
scrape to get the info after you browsed for the album on their site thru
the program), but the CDDB integration is pretty damn good. It also sports
the ability to rename files from ID3 tags or vice versa, and supports
created folders, etc. Tag&Rename:

Of course now I just use iTunes.
