What Do You Use For Mp3 Handling?

[soilpharm]

I am just curious if there are people out there that may use a more efficient program for MP3 handling other than SS 3.1 . I was just wondering, because I hate the way that ss organises the tracks, and I am wondering if people may use something else for organising, editing tags, etc.

Cheers

actually any edits you do in SS (artist, title, album, genre, etc) update the MP3 tags in the files themselves (providing SS has the rights to said files)

Slap everything in 1 folder, tag with MP3Tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/) and only use SS to upload.

Oh, and I btw rip with Plextools to FLAC

For encoding:

* EAC/lame

* Razorlame/lame

* dBPowerAMP convertor/lame

* Foobar2000/lame

* iTunes/FhG

For tagging:

* Foobar2000 [for the most part, now, since it does mass-renames/copying and such so easily]

* MP3BookHelper [open-source; the best dedicated tagging app I've found, hands down; supports multiple formats, though it lacks a few in common use]

* iTunes

* I try to avoid modifying tags with SS as it tends to horrifyingly mutilate them, much like it reads them in the first place

For editing I use excellent fast and free tool called mp3directCut (http://www.mpesch3.de).
