This is about the best mass mp3 tagger I have found in Linux. I am sure there are better gui options, or things that have a lot of interaction and pointing and clicking, but I run this on my headless server and it is pretty great.
It will use the MusicBrainz music db to guess what mp3's you have and can determine if it is close enough to a match and autocorrect mis-spellings and missing id3 info without any interaction. You can also install a plugin to do acoustic fingerprintnig (like what Shazam for your phone does), but this does seem to slow it down a lot.

- Crew [COLOR=red]C[/COLOR]ut -> Crew [COLOR=red]O[/COLOR]ut [/code]All of the above was done automatically once I pointed it to a dir with mp3's in it, and since all of these were a small distance away from what it thinks is a match it will do all this without any typing. :)
I am slowly going thru everything and getting them up to snuff.
