I use MusicBrainz, which is a GPL tagging package. It makes a
fingerprint of your mp3s and will access a community run database to
determine the track name. It will then sort it for you by
Artist->Album->Track # - Track Name , or however you want it to sort.
It will fill out all the ID3 tag information w/ appropriate information,
even w/ the genre. This is great if all your mp3s are 128kbps or
higher, as lower bitrates tend to give false positives and can lead to
misidentified tracks. It will provide a percentage of accuracy in the
match, so when the percentage match is less than 75% (or any amount you
pick) it will request that you identify the track manually.
There is a beta Linux client available too, but I can't remember the
name of it at this moment. The linux iTunes clone amaroK has built in
support for MusicBrainz tagged tracks and will show the MusicBrainz icon
to show the track was tagged by MusicBrainz. This is the piece of
software I had waited years to be released, since it is especially good
at identifying tracks that have corrupted track names and information.
