All you need to do is if they are tagged put them in the automatically add to itunes folder. I don't know of a bulk tagger like you speak of. I'm a;also looking for one but the forums say to use itunes and that's it. I don't want to except that but try that with a few of yoru songs and if that works copy all of them in to there and itunes should sourt them.
