Zune and Mass Tagging

This is essentially two different things in one topic.

First, does anyone know of any software (freeware preferably) that edits and tags your music files? I know I can edit them individually, but that would take days on end. I need something that tags all of them. =]

Also, do any of you all have any experiences with Zune mp3 players? I'm getting one for christmas and I would like to hear some thoughts about it. I have read reviews also.*

I can't help with the first part but I've had a Zune since they launched so ask away.

Right now I've just got the 30GB Zune but I'm eventually getting a 120GB. The only problem I've ever encountered with it is that it'll sometimes freeze up if you change songs too quickly. A simple reset can fix this though. Also, I don't know how you obtain music (legal download or CDs) but if you plan on putting songs on your Zune and then deleting the songs off of your computer (you can later copy them back from your Zune) there's a series of steps you need to take or else it'll delete them from your Zune as well. It's a pain but with all of the CDs I have it keeps my computer from filling up.

Overall, the Zune is great. It's perfect if you want to share music with people and with the new updates you can now play games on it.

Well, I'm not familiar with ipods but the few times I've actually had to use them it wasn't easy for me to navigate. I'm used to the Zune though, and I'm heavily biased towards it. The Zune is very easy to navigate though and is pretty straightforward. It starts you off with Music, Videos, Pictures, Social, Radio, Marketplace, Games, Settings. Go to Music and it'll offer you Artists, Albums, Genres, Songs, and Playlists. I never use Marketplace or Social so I can't comment. Other than that Settings is the only thing that has more to it than 'view, next, slideshow, etc...'

Anything else you wanted to know that I didn't mention or give enough info on?

For question 1, look into "musicbrainz"

I have a Zune and I love it to death. The interface is very straight forward, more so than the iPod's. The software for your PC is a little intensive but overall it's very nice.

I loved my Zune, until Mexicans stole it. >_<
But yeah, Zunes are a great way to go, better than iPods in my opinion.

I use http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ for tagging, it is free and works great.
