Manage your music with ID3 tag editors

I use a combination of MusicBrainz Picard Tagger, EasyTAG & simply Amarok. Each one has it's strengths.

MusicBrainz is great for finding what song comes from which album, grouping songs into one album, completing unknown tags even renaming and restructuring. It searches fingerprints for your songs & compares them to the massive MusicBrainz database.
EasyTAG is great for mass-renaming tags, folders, filenames.
Amarok is great because I use it as my music player, good mass-renaming & inline editing. And I love the integrated wiki-search. Also very useful to fill in missing information, searching for correct tags etc.

Besides that, I found eyed3 very useful to delete all embedded album art (it's command-line, but can fix your whole collection in one sweep. And amarok's copycover script to copy albumart in the directory.

On windows I used foobar, which was great for masstagging and renaming. In combination with ID3TagIt & MediaMonkey.
