Tool to update MP3 tags with proper release year?

Dec 19, 2008 5:46AM PST

This is killing me...any help will be much appreciated.

I would really like to update my apx 9.000 mp3s' tags with their proper release dates, and doing it manually (using tag editing software) is a PITA.

It would be cool to create playlists in chronological order, or if I just want to listen to music from 1964 - I can.

Is there a quality tool/procedure out there that will help automate this process?

I run Windows Media Center via Vista, and it does some automatic updating of mp3 tags, but often the years are wrong due to various reasons, and ultimately not assigning the proper release year to the tags.

thanks,
Mike in Tucson
