The freedb Tagger component allows you to get album information from the online freedb based database.

Usage

1. Select the songs (they need to be ordered by tracknumber).
2. Right-click the songs, Tagging → Get tags from freedb.
3. If the album information exists in freedb, you will get a dialog box.
4. If you have more than one match, select the one that seems to be most accurate. (Click on the entry to view its contents)
5. If you want existing information to be removed, tick Wipe out existing tags.
6. Click Update files.

Settings

The Settings... button opens the freedb Tagger preferences page.

Limitations
