    some cds i put in the drive open up in real player and i select the songs i want and then i have them copied to the relevant folder and then i move them to my mp3 player but some of the songs arent recognised so they are given the title Track 1 or track 2 etc and if theres more than 1 track named track 1 then the first track 1 will be superceded by the 2nd tarck 1 and the 3rd and fourth, is tehre not anything i could use to tag them correctly

    Media monkey is the best tool I have ever used for this. You can do pretty much anything with it in terms or organizing/renaming tracks.

    Picard from MusicBrainz can find names for your music automatically

    Isn't the easiest thing to use though

    Just download it and give it a go.

    You need to tell it where your songs are, then do things like rename-move a selection. Try it with some test files first so you dont mess up. Auto-tag from amazon is a really usefull feature.
