iEatBrainz... This program takes songs that you've chosen in your iTunes Library, that have incorrect or missing information for Title, Artist or Album , and then uses the sound of each song to match it with the correct information maintained in the MusicBrainz Database (musicbrainz.org). This processing typically takes several seconds per song, and then it allows you to verify before updating your iTunes Library.

I don't have time or interest to port iEatBrainz to MusicIP, but I do have interest is other people doing it, or helping work on other parts of iEatBrainz if there is some other developer interested in doing the port.
So beware it may stop working in the near future.

I didn't even know Jay Tuley had passed away. I just took the sources freely available from the SourceForge project and tweaked the XCode project to get it to build for me and thought it would be nice for others to distribute it. Sadly, it's not that I won't like to, but I have no knowledge or time to look into how all this was coded by Jay Tuley.

I know some other taggers making use of MusicBrainz are appearing, but i liked this one.
Universal Leopard compatible build anyone?

Still works well for me (G4, 10.4.8) but is bound to break sooner or later!
Where are some brave (knowledgeable) heroes to take up the task of giving Mac users a MusicBrainz tagger now that development has halted?!

It's not always right, but it's better than typing in dozens of song names and artists!
Rosetta is working awfully hard to keep up with all the stuff this program does, and its killer on all my systems.
WARNING: Don't try to use more than 500 or so songs in your working list at once, you will pay for it in huge slowdowns. Keep the working list small and this program will run at least something close to acceptable speeds.

The software doesn't work... no errors are generated... it just doesn't do anything. I select a few songs from my iTunes library and the "working" icon spins in the bottom right corner of the window... as though it's doing something... but nothin happens.
I downloaded the source and recompiled it on my computer.. to no avail.

It works with some songs, and then it will give me an error for the next few songs since it can't (?) communicate with the server, then maybe one song will work, and the cycle repeats. It is also very slow on a per song basis, but maybe this is because it's having trouble getting a response.
However the songs are all from the same album, and there is nothing else using my internet connection, and I tried it at 8am EST (not peak net time). Why is it not working???
Is there a similar app that works from the command line?
