It's not perfect, but this site: http://musicbrainz.org/ has programs
that do exactly what you're talking about.
It takes random mp3 files, and fills in all their tags--does it off
of file size and some other factors, I think.
I've used iEatBrainz on mac a lot. It's found and fixed a lot of my
stuff.

I just started cataloging all my wife's mp3 collection and it is
pretty brutal. There is a mix between stuff downloaded from iTunes,
ripped from CD via WMP, and just random mp3s. A lot don't have ID3
tags. Some without tags are sitting in the directory structure of
their artist/album, some aren't. Most are not complete albums - just
random tracks.
Anyone come up with a good method for simplying this? I know that if
I have a full album I can use tools to find tags, that is easy. The
hard part are the scattered singles. I might have just an artist or
maybe a song title to work off of.
Second part - for those singles that do have good title/artist info -
anyone found an easy way to get the correct album automatically?
