    Mp3tag works pretty well for me; can't say how well the album lookup would work since 99% of my music isn't in any american database.

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Media Monkey.

    Mad easy to use and a very flexible tagging interface.

    nope its a bad tagging interface and sometimes when import your library from
    media monkey to winamp or windows media player you got your tags wrong so its not reliable application

    Good thing it didn't screw up my music collection.

    It managed to tag all 150gb of music, and embeded album art while it was at it.
