I just started using Mp3tag last week, before that I only used iTunes. It's taken some learning, but Mp3tag seems very useful so far! I have a lot of files with no tags, that just have artist and song name, or just the song name, in the file name. I want to search freedb to find the album, so I can…

Elhem Enohpi: ...leaving only Title .., I always get "the query returned no results". The problem is that a title can appear on so and so many albums. You may find it on the original album, the EP, the greatest hits, the best of, the live album, the maxi version, the editted version, the com…

Thanks for your answer, but I'm still confused. Because I'm new to Mp3tag, I don't know whether the freedb search is meant to work this way and I don't understand it, or whether it's broken. What is the purpose of the "Title" checkbox in the "freedb web search" window? Why is the song name automati…

Elhem Enohpi: ... It seems that even though the freedb, Amazon, and MusicBrainz databases contain song name information, it's not possible to use song names in search terms at all in Mp3tag. Is that correct? As I said: the combination artist/title is not unique, the combination artist/album…

The combination artist/album isn't unique either. An artist/album search on MusicBrainz, for Talking Heads / Remain in Light, gives 17 different results. An artist/title search for Talking Heads / The Overload (one of the tracks), gives 22 results, 17 of which are the Remain in Light album... Searc…

Elhem Enohpi: The combination artist/album isn't unique either.... Still, I can't find an answer to my original questions: There's a checkbox for "Title" in the freedb web search box. Does it do something, or is it broken? I just went to the freedb site http://www.freedb.org/freedb_search.…

It appears that the Title (Track) search function for freedb is broken. Even though Mp3tag says it will search for song titles, the checkbox has no effect. Song titles are never searched. Any song title information in the search terms is only added to the search of the Artist and Album fields, givin…

"Title" on the freedb website corresponds to "Album" in Mp3tag. I will call this Album(Title). "Track" on the freedb website corresponds to "Title" in Mp3tag. I will call this Title(Track). The search terms are used to search the Artist and Album(Title) fields, but the Title(Track) field is never …

You must use quote marks to search for phrases, on the freedb website. A search for: "how will i know" ...with Artist and Track selected, gives zero results. There are no Artists named "How Will I Know", and Track information in the database is never searched. A search for: "Whitney Houston" "H…
