Just going to assume you are wanting a Mac solution correct, not a windows solution. Before anybody rips into me about asking this, I still use a windows solution because I haven't found anything on the Mac side that can do what I want it to do and do it really-really-really well! In fact this was the only reason, I purchased VMWare and a Windows license was so that I can use this one program.
I am currently trying out "Tag Editor", which is available in the App store. I received this via one of the free code shares from this forum. I have not had a lot of time to play with it, but there is a free version to try out.

It's early for me, but I don't see where you ever mentioned the app you are talking about.
Whoops you are right, the name of the windows application is Tag & Rename by softpointer.
It isn't free, but to me. once I tried it out and saw what it could do, the money was well worth it. I have a lot of CD's and have ripped them all (1400 and counting), not to mention a lot of stuff that was poorly tagged when I first started out. It handles a wide variety of file formats, which was nice, once I started to move away from mp3's and onto ALAC and FLAC.
I have also included in my original post, a Mac App store Mp3 tagging software that I am trying out.
I have used MusicBrainz Picard for things that need to me found vs modified. Takes some practice but once you get it, it is pretty easy. I also have used Jaikoz. It is an easier interface and used MusicBrainz Picard as it's data engine. If you are wanting to do a bunch and be done, I would download the free trial of Jaikoz, get your job done. It's on the expensive side $30 for a tagger. I did not purchase it but just took care of my whole library during the full function 30 day free trial.
If you just need to edit, find album info, I use Tagr. I have to say that I just looked at Metadatics, and it looks pretty good for $10.
Edit: Just to clarify, I am using an old version of Tagr and have not tried the App Store version, which appears to have been more fully developed than the old (free) version I currently use.

musio actually there are many tools that can rename your directory/filename from your metadata so that isnt really a reason to consider with media rage.
