Mwhahaha. Another waste of 45 minutes, for something I'll use once or twice more. :P

# ID3 tagger - written by newby (newbypwns@gmail.com, SPAMMERS BRING IT ON)
# Written with SOME of the terribly-tagged posts on Kerrazy in mind ;)
# Example usage: ./id3tagger.sh "Exodus/Exodus - 1985 - Bonded by Blood" 144
# Folders MUST be in format of: %artist - %year - %album/##-%songname.mp3
# Requirements: bash shell, id3lib (id3lib.sourceforge.net) (for the id3convert / id3tag binaries)
# Will fully tag your mp3s ID3v2 / ID3v1 :)
# Genre MUST be a number, so I included some common genres (again, common with kerrazy in mind) here.
# Feel free to modify/redistribute.
# Genres:
# Metal = 9
# Black Metal = 138
# Death Metal = 22
# Heavy Metal = 137
# Thrash Metal = 144

Comments? Concerns? :)
Very nice! Hehe, saved my Carcass discography from having to be in the 1 - Compressed Albums folder for the rest of its life! :D
:-*
for i in ArtistName/*; do ./id3tagger.sh "$i"; done
That'll run recursively on a folder as long as it's named correctly. :)

Cool! My Pantera discography has fucked up ID3 tags too. I'll rename the directories and see if this fixes it! :)
How hard would it be to write a shell script that recursively renames the filenames?

Pretty hard.
Just stick to using rename on 'em.
Or do something like rename "Pantera - " "" */*.mp3 && rename " - " "-" */*.mp3 to see if that works.
I wouldn't try it unless you make a backup, though.
That worked, I think. I had a backup too!

A quicker way for that ls: ls -lh <target>
Windows users are mad that they can't use this. :(

Haha, poor bastards. I wish there was a nice, open source id3 library for windows. ._.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=979
windows binaries = id3lib-3.8.3binaries.zip (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/id3lib/id3lib-3.8.3binaries.zip?download)
Oh well. Too bad the bash script isn't portable across OS'.
My bad. It is if you have a bash shell. Too bad you Windows users and your wsh suck.
Someone should port this to batch. :)
EDIT -- Warrior plans to port this to Monad's script language, so we'll see. :)
Newby, you forget the GNU/MinGW bash.
I used an ID3 retagger a while back for Windows...
MediaMonkey for Windows has batch [re]naming and batch [re]tagging, its what I use. I think there is still a free version or at least a free trial.
I wrote a couple Java programs which automatically convert file structure -> id3 or id3 -> proper file structure. The two programs are probably:
http://www.javaop.com/~iago/FixId3.jar
http://www.javaop.com/~iago/MoveMP3.jar
The source should be included in the .jar. They are in no way well written, but I use them all the time.
