Name for Non ID3 mp3 tracks in Itunes

[henrika]

I recently had a HD disaster, all my music (aprox 50000 tracks) got lost. With FileSalvage I got them back, problem is they all lost their id´s, now they are displayed by number. Musicrenamer works on the ones with id3 tag, but I´m still up the creek without the proper instrument.

Itunes wont let me get the tracknames as the music wasnt imported using itunes.

Anyone know if there´s a way around this? Third party software to get tracknames? I need acces to gracenote or similar database..

Im running a mac.

that I think will work

I know it's too late however make sure you backup data in the future, an external hard drive is ideal.

You don't really need a backup for music. If he just lost 50,000 songs, all he has to do is rip his collection of about 4,000 CDs again. This time in AAC.

Well I did that once with realplayer (and later with iTunes), on and off it took me the better part of a year, don´t want to do that again.

On another note, the script did not turn out to be the solution, any suggestions are welcome

ant it was the external HD that crashed and burned
