Manage Your Music With ID3 Tag Editors

“Cowbell is a tag editor with limited editing features though
with some promise. It focuses on editing a single album at a time,
a single track at a time. Editing multiple albums from a single
artist at one time is not supported. Users can select albums with
the built-in directory tree browser or by dragging folders from a
desktop file manager into the main window.

“Cowbell does not support plugins but does utilize built-in
searches using Amazon’s Web services API for album and track
searches, though there is no way in the UI to configure this, and
nothing shows that the search is occurring with Amazon’s help. To
look up an album, choose an album folder, but do not select any
tracks. Type in the artist and/or album information. Use the Tools
-> Guess Song Information menu to open a dialog and connect to
Amazon to retrieve album information. Cowbell will rename the files
in the Title column and correctly order them by their track numbers
on the CD.”
