From the third sentence on the product page:
"Also you may get album info via online databases like freedb or Amazon. Supports ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis comments, APEv2, WindowsMedia and MP4(iTunes) tags"
So, yes.

You can use it to catalog your 'Hooked on Phonics'.

How about album cover? iTunes does this automagically and nicely, but load the same tunes on a different DAP (Say the Zune) and bam, it's no longer there.
If there is a automagic program that handles auto tagging and auto high-res album covers, then I'll be a happy camper.

Tag & Rename

I'll give this program a try. I tried the demo version of Tag&Rename and it does the job as well but it costs money ($39.99 USD IIRC). I like the fact that this program is donation-based, and would rather donate the $40 than be forced to pay it.

For all the Linux-goers, try Ex Falso. It makes sense.

I keep getting '202 error Disc not found' (not exact wording). And this is for CDs I ripped myself (my own collection, btw; no thievery). Any ideas?
Also, do I really have to select one album at a time? :_( I have over 3500 mp3s, many not properly categorized. (I know, bad planning on my part at the beginning.) Is there another way?? PLEASE??
