Hi,
I'm looking for a prog similar to tag&rename.
Just want something that connects to an internet server
finds the album, retrieves the info and writes the tags.
Thanks for any help.
Mmaybe you should look for cddb based software. I'm not sure it's what you're looking for (I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for as I don't know the app you give as a reference), but "grip" is a player/ripper you can configure to retreive cddb data from the internet so it'll display the tracknames of a cd.

Yeah that's what I'm looking for. I know about grip, I want a prog to retrieve info
for already ripped albums. I've searched in various places, but I found only
regular tag-editors.
Don't know if htat exists. Keep in mind that cddb only works because albums have a 'unique' data organisation and someone has taken the trouble to prepare the data sheets . Even so it doesn't always work: sometimes the info is not available, and sometimes there are several completely different titles for the same album available. When you rip a track you completely change its structure, and there are many ways to rip and encode, using different output formats (.ogg .mp3 .wav etc.),qualities (16bit, 32 bit) and sample rets (64, 128, 192) plus you can stripbeginning and end silence etc. etc. so it becomes incredibly complicated to know exactly what soundbite was encoded.
