What is the best Mac alternative to Tag & Rename

Hi
On my PC I near-daily used a programme called Tag&Rename to manually manage my MP3s.
I found itunes never tagged correctly and often screwed them up with wrong imagery etc.
Details of Tag&R here: http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm
Tag & Rename was ideal - I could change literally every tag in the MP3 - both singularly or as an album or compilation. It even allowed me to highlight a selection of MP3s and auto tag them according to Amazon - including adding file and folder images.
I've now replaced my PC with a Macbook Pro and sadly Tag&Rename is not available
Can someone advise me on the best alternative please - either as a software download or from the Mac App Store.
I'm happy to pay for it as I have a lot of MP3s and it something I used daily
Thanks in advance

Fatboyslick,
I have not found a program for the MAC as good as Tag&Rename.  Music Tag Editor is as close as I can come to Tag&Rename.  I have asked the developer of Tag&Rename if a MAC version would ever be possible for a MAC version and he indicated that he was currently working on one.  I have no idea where he is at on the development.
The best thing about Tag&Rename was that I could tell it where to save the file by automatically telling it the drive\directory\artist name\album name\title.mp3
Music Tag Editor lets you rename the file and do a SaveAs but it is way to many steps and I have to change the directories for every artist.  You can't create a driectory within the program....
So in short.  There is nothing in the MAC world that is as good as Tag&Rename.

    What's the best Mac config for Fireworks?
    I can pretty much get whatever Mac I want at work... My boss is sick and tired of watching Fireworks crash all the time... I figure a hefty processor and lots of RAM and maybe a SSD will help…
    I should get a Mac Pro right? Which processor?
    • Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
    • Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor (12 cores)
    • Two 3.06GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon (12 cores)
    Should I get 24GB RAM?? Or is that overkill?
    I'll get a 2TB serial hard drive…
    I should get a 512 GB solid state drive offered by Apple right?
    Or is it possible to get a larger better 3rd party SSD?
    And then maybe two 21" Displays… Two 27s seems a little much… or does it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh and what about video cards? Or is Apple's default ok? (I'm not doing hard core PhotoShop retouching or anything).

  • What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X?

    Title says it all. What's the best Mac for running Final Cut Pro X? I'm not looking to make a feature length hollywood film. But I'd like to be able to edit video without lag.

    Yes. Begin with the fastest processor / graphics card / and as much RAM as you can afford. (As all three will become obsolete over time.)
    I started from scratch. I have a 27-inch iMac with a 3.4 G Intel Core i7. (currently the fastest processor for an iMac) I also ordered the best graphics card--AMD Ratheon HD. I ordered 16G of RAM, but recently added more RAM to equal 24G. (OWC makes good after-market RAM for iMACs.)
    Last, I ordered a flash drive / SATA hard drive combo.  (250G on flash / ITB on SATA). The OS and all of my applications run off the flash drive. (for fast start up!)
    I put all of my media and FCP projects onto the SATA hard drive.
    Now, I had the option to order a 2TB SATA. But, I realized I can always buy more external storage as I edit more and more projects. ALSO! FCPX is GREAT when it comes to editing projects on external drives! I can segregate an entire project and its media files onto a removeable drive. I simply launch FCPX, plug in the drive and--poof!--I'm ready to edit. It sees the project and the media right away. When I'm done editing, I can then send this drive to another editor (also using FCPX) or attach it to my MacBook if I want to edit the same project in the field.
    This has worked for me. I wish you luck.

  • What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues

    What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues?

    Any Mac that can happily run OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Logic Pro 9.1.5.....
    Note: Newer Macs cannot run Snow Leopard because SL doesn't provide hardware support for the newer hardware found in these newer Macs....
    Next best combo for newer Macs is Mavericks 10.9.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.8... but it is nowhere near as efficient a combo as the previous one mentioned...

    what is the best mac to get for downloading over 30,000 photos?

    Download from where into what? What are you going to do with the photos?
    I agree with Larry that a Mac with an SSD boot drive and addtional standard drive is blazingly fast.  I have an iMac setup that way and it boots in 14 seconds.  With the system and applicaitons and iPhoto library on the SSD drive and most other documents, backup photos, etc. on the std. drive. it works beautifully.  However, I do not let the free space on the SSD drive get less than 50 GB.
    I also have an external HD that I sue with Time Maching to backup both my SSD and standard drive in the iMac.

  • What is the best Mac for gaming?

    Ok so as the title says, I was wondering what is the best Mac for gaming, I would like to play at least some old games which I have laying around the house when I'm at the airport or whatever. I read that macs are not that good at gaming but they do work at some degree :P
    Also I was wondering, me and my friend were arguing why is a Mac not considered a PC. I my arguments where that a PC means it has all that nasty, heavy, big hardware, with all the cards and stuff and that a mac just has the slick monitor with some stuff in it :P and a keyboard/mouse. His arguments were that even if macs only have the stuff mentioned above, it should still be considered a PC since it is afterall a Personal Computer.
    Thanks a lot and hopefully you'll settle my argument and aswear my question.

    Best computer for gaming is always the one with the highest specs. But generally speaking, a base macbook does ok. The major piece you need to increase FPS on a mac is a video card though, so generally the Pros or iMacs will be a better choice.
    Your friend is right, PC = Personal Computer. Mac's run the exact same hardware as a PC, just run different OS's. But its a term that got misplaced with windows in the flame wars of every forum post. P.S. Mac pros are a tower with no screen, just like the traditional windows ones.

  • What is the best mac pro combination considering price

    what is the best mac pro combination specs considering price

    Huge downloads of e-mails is a function of your internet provider.  Most give you asynchronous communication, which means the sending of information back to them is slower than the receipt of information from them.  Thus simultaneous two-way communication will in fact slow you down even more.
    Presentations can be a function of the display technology used.    Old VGA display based projections can be slow and cumbersome.   Newer ones with HDMI, DVI and Mini-Displayport are far better and require less conversion. 
    What kind of workbooks?
    Different programs have different requirements.  Again, you have not distinguished if you are interested in buying a desktop, or a notebook computer.
    Desktop = Mac Pro or iMac or Mac Mini (Mac Mini can be functionally as portable as a notebook, except it does not have battery for being powered on when off the mains).
    Notebook = MacBook Air or MacBook Pro

    There is no best per se.  All converter software does the same thing.....convert files. 
    Some are very user friendly, high tech or simple to use.  You will need to read the reviews of the ones that interest you the most. 
    I personally use several.....VidConvert, Voltaic, Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate. 

  • What is the best mac cleaner and anti virus for mac pro.

    what is the best mac cleaner and anti virus for mac pro.

    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • What is the best iBook alternative

    I was so looking forward to being able to read my books on my Mac but after experiencing the debacle that is the iBook app I've already moved my collection back to iTunes and deleted iBooks.
    So my question is, what is the best alternative to iBooks? Assuming there is an alternative - I'm sure all the books I've purchased from the iBook Store are overflowing with DRM.
    I'd prefer not to have multiple libraries - I like the way iTunes manages my collection. In a perfect world I'd like to be able to double click on a book in iTunes and have it simply open up on my Mac for reading, highlighting, notating, etc...(which is kind of how I expected the iBooks app to work)
    Is there anything out there that comes close to that?
    Cheers,
    David

    Here is how to delete iBooks and get book management functionality back to iTunes:
    1. Open Activity Monitor and kill the bookstoreagent service.
    2. Delete the file for that service:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CommerceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/boo kstoreagent
    3. Use AppCleaner to remove iBooks app completely.
    4. Restart iTunes and Books menu will appear again there.
    5. Copy our ebook files from our backup back to internal storage. This is mainly for ebook files that we didn’t purchase from iBookstore. Don’t worry about books that we purchased from iBookstore, we can re-download them again.
    6. Delete the ebook files from~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books so iTunes library will detect them as missing. Right click for each book, choose “Get Info” and it will ask the location of the file. Point the location to the ebook file that we have restored. Yes it’s probably a long and tiring process especially if we have plenty of books.
    7. An alternative way of step 6 is to delete all the books from iTunes library and re-import them from the files. All the metadata we created before should remain unchanged.
    8. Re-download books that we purchased from iBookstore. Or alternatively if we have those books in our iPhone or iPad, we can just sync them with iTunes and choose to transfer those books.

  • What is the best limewire alternative for 10.4

    What is the best alternative ti Limewire for Mac OS X 10.4.11.

    None...  Don't use it.  Most that is available via Limewire is illegal, not to mention can open yourself up to hacked versions of software being sent your way.   Get the genuine article from http://www.macupdate.com/ or C!Net's replacement for http://www.versiontracker.com/  Do not use MacKeeper either, as that is malware.

  • What is the best Mac choice for creating pro-level art/graphics/animation?

    I'm an artist who does a lot of work with Adobe Creative Suite CS5, as well as some video editing and lots of animation. I've been using a 2007 model 15-inch Macbook Pro for the last 4 years, and it seems like it's time to upgrade...it runs burning hot all the time, and the battery dies pretty quick when the cord falls out. It seems like the whole thing is running a little slow, which is probably because I have a TON of graphics/animation/video software on there, but I need each and every program.
    My question is, what is the best new Mac to purchase to replace this one? I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible, and will be able to handle the programs I use now. My first thought is to get another Macbook Pro, because of the portability, and just add on all the higher RAM, etc to customize it. But my husband suggested looking into the Mac Mini, because it's a lot cheaper, and we're a little strapped for cash at the moment. Would that serve the purpose? Or is a Macbook Pro really the best choice for what I need it to do?
    I'd love to hear suggestions from other artists or graphics people. What do you recommend?

    For a "cash strapped" person, unless you already
    have a monitor, one of the new iMacs may be
    a better choice.  If you do have a monitor, I would
    suggest the dual core i7 equipt MacMini.  Since you state
    you are using CS5 stuff, most Adobe apps,
    Photoshop for example, do not make effective
    use of multiple cores.  Also, using any of the
    Adobe products, regardless of which computer
    you decide on, get as much RAM as you can afford.
