Freedb

Freedb is a big database containing albums and their corresponding tags. As a consequence, it enables you to tag your files without having to enter them manually !! In some minutes, you will be able to find the tags of your complete albums.

It is not a Messer plugin port. So function available are different.

The selected songs must be into the commercial order of the album to make freedb work.

With discogs you can tag albums even with missing files or incorrect order as long as you know the name of the artist and the album.
