Thanks, Don.  I love MP3tag, and MP3gain (I love sourceforge overall!)

And only today I was wondering about a non-encoding MP3 trimmer - the ABC JAMs often have a 2 second pause at around the 19 minute mark (no audio is lost, the broadcast just pauses) - and I have no idea why!  And it's not just my setup: ABC recordings by Martin sometimes have them too.

I usually edit out the gap when editing in Audition 3 and saving to FLAC, then MP3.

I'll have a good look at ms3DirectCut 'cos sometimes I get an MP3 and not a lossless version which can be repeatedly edited without generational quality loss.

There's also a neat MP3 joiner, which is particularly useful to join sections of audiobooks (or other split audio files) back together into a single file... mergeMP3 at http://shchuka.com/software/mergemp3/

...and mine uses the tags to display information about what's playing too - track name, album name, artist name...

I don't know what tool you use but I use Mp3tag, I can recommend it highly, it is very user-friendly

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

I also run series sets of programs through MP3Gain to normalise the volumes, especially necessary if they don't all come from the same source

http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

to complete the set (do it first though) I top and tail mp3s using mp3DirectCut which does so without decoding and re-encoding as some do

All assumes you're using a Windows PC obviously.

I'm sure others will have their favourite tools too

It is good to share....

Hi Espen. You're welcome for the upload.

It's only relatively recently that I've discovered ID3 tags - I've always pooh-poohed them in the past, until I realised that MP3 players actually use the tags to determine play order instead of filenames!
