MP3 tagging for the lazy: minimum settings, minimum user interaction. Almost fully automatic batch mp3 folders processing before uploading to a portable player.

Features:

• Read-only scanning of the entire MP3 folder tree
  Automatic detection and correction of missing tags, Artist/Album/Genre inconsistencies and track numbering errors - in order to prevent "decomposition" of your MP3 albums on a tag-sorting portable player
  Integrated Discogs.com search
  Optional auto renaming of music folders by the fixed pattern:
  %Artist% - %Album% (%Year%)
  Ability to review, edit and cancel individual changes before physically applying them
  Integrated folder tag editor
  Detection of compilation albums, ability to transfer your personal compilations to an iPod without losing their integrity
  Full Unicode support

• Yep, no file system changes appart from the optional folder renaming ["Optional auto renaming of music folders according to the fixed pattern: %Artist% - %Album% (%Year%)"]...

    As the scanning is read-only, taghycardia can also be used as a purely diagnostic tool that tells what is wrong with your mp3 tags, and based on that info you can later reorganize and fix your music library using specialized tag and rename tools.

  I'd recommend MP3Tag (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1137) or TagScanner (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1427) for more comprehensive audio file management needs...

On a related note, I see you have FLAC/OGG tagging (APE?) in the works and I just wonder if AAC/MP4 tagging wouldn't make taghycardia more future-proof? 'Cause of HTML5, among other reasons, it's looking more and more like it will be the coming de facto standard...

Improved online cover art discoverability, fixed a number of minor UI-related bugs.

• Cool.
  
  Some interesting new features, especially "Support for music file formats other than MP3". OTOH, there's now a Pro version (see https://gosell.it/product/test-44), mostly with lyrics related features -- these can be previewed (as well as disabled) in the free version...
