[linux-audio-user] deferred freedb.org lookup

[Joey Reid]

here's how i do it.

1) create your mp3s. name in track order (01.mp3 etc.)
2) start easytag. cancel the "scanner" window that pops up, and  browse 
to the directory that contains the mp3s you want to tag.
4) select "Misc > CDDB Search" from menu. type keywords (e.g. artist, 
album) in the "Words" field, then click search.
5) find a good set of data. click on the "Select all lines" button (on 
the right, looks like a blue square with white stripes) and then apply.
6) close the "CDDB Search" window and return to the main easytag 
window. You should now see all your songs with red text. Hit the "Save 
button", and your chnages should be written.

i don't know why they call it "easytag", it should be "powertag" - you 
can do some pretty cool stuff with it once you get used to it, but it 
is anything but easy to use for beginners. play around a bit, and you 
will discover all kinds of cool features.
