Idntag is a command-line tool that identifies artist and title of specified audio files and updates their ID3-tag meta-data with correct data, and renames the files on format Artist_Name-Track_Name.
This tool modifies and renames its input files. The quality of song identification is not perfect and may have some false detections. It is therefore recommended to first make a copy of the files to be identified, so there is a backup in case the results are not good.
This is free and open source software.
