Filenames to ID3 Tags

Hi, I have many mp3's that the ID3 tags are all over the place, but the filenames are correct. I use the Artist - Title format.
I'm looking for a utility that generates the ID3 tags from the filenames. Can any of you recommend and such utility.
Some of the filenames are long and other utilities cut half of the title off. Should I use V1, V2 or V3 ID3 tag to display the whole track name ?
Thanks

This does the opposite of what I want to do...quote" Rename files using tags
You can easily rename many files at once using any tag version. Choose one of the popular predefined formats or create your own. "

Mp3Tag, it's free and very powerful. You can rename in both directions, ie filename > tag and tag > filename.
It's very flexible too, so can work for virtually any directory setup. For example I have mine artist\album\01 - Track1.mp3.
Great for doing batches of files too. I just updated around 4,000 files the other day. Didn't take too long."Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha."0 -
