Organize and manage your music collection.
SongKong is an intelligent music tagger designed to make the task of managing, organizing, and cleaning up your digital music collection quick and easy. It's for those of us who care about music and need it properly cataloged with high-res artwork, but without much time to spend on accomplishing this. SongKong supports most audio formats, including MP3, MP4, AIFF, WAV, FLAC, Ogg, and WMA.
SongKong can identify songs and fix misspellings, add metadata such as as artist and album and album art, and rename songs based on the new metadata if you wish. SongKong uses intelligent acoustic-matching from Acoustid to listen to your songs and find matches, even when they have no information at all, but also takes advantage of existing file information to ensure you get the best album match. It can deal with large music collections as well as small ones. If you use iTunes, it can automatically update it with your modifications.
SongKong can also use Acoustids to find duplicate songs.

1. Inaccurate: Numerous songs were mistagged and separated from the rest of the album from which they were extracted. This was so bad that I had to restore my entire (6000 song) library from a backup taking hours to accomplish. Also, the software does not seem to recognize compilations, as the one I had was separated into several different albums (the original ones from which they were extracted) even though the song metadata included the compilation album name as well as the song name.
Support: While the developer did make suggestions, he ignored my statement that I had followed his suggestions and got the wrong results a second time requiring another restoration of my 70 GB library. He insulted me for not reading the instructions for his interface (for which see below). The trial version did not write the changes so I had no way to see if it was working using iTunes. He refused to refund my money.
Interface: Probably the most complex interface I have ever seen (and I have been using purchased software since 1980). Starting fix songs brings up a set of preferences some very technical on which there are no fewer than 11 tabs! This requires reading a lot of documentation. I prefer intuitive software.
The developer will undoubtedly respond to this. He will say I insulted him, but he took my criticism and my request for a refund as a personal attack. All I've got to say I'm happy that some people are getting good results, because I certainly did not. For most people I recommend iTunes for artwork and duplicates (and accurate tags taken directly from Gracenote). SongKong does no more than does iTunes.
The author is also responsive to support requests, if you report a problem with a tag he will look into it and fix it. I also helped track down a bug with him at one stage and I got a credit for it!
SongKong is updated regularly with improvements and fixes.
You may think the price a little steep but consider how much your time is worth to fix your tags manually.
It's a decent piece of software.
