Tips & Warnings
iTunes has the ability to fix the tags of several MP3s simultaneously. This is useful if an entire group of songs from the same album is missing the album name, for example. Hold the "Ctrl" key while selecting multiple songs from the iTunes library, then select "Get Info" on one of them. The "Multiple Item Information" window will appear, confirming that you are editing several songs.
