My music is mislabeled. Is there software that will properly label and organize my music other than iTunes?
I have about 500 songs that are all labeled as coming from an album called "Top 500 rock songs of all time" or something that a friend collected and gave to me. I want to put them on my iPod but I want all of the songs to be properly tagged for artist, album, title, and genre if possible, and even organized into proper folders such as X:\Music\Artist\Album\Title.mp3
Is there any freeware or inexpensive (less than $30) software that can reliably do this? iTunes isn't working for this.

i use tag and rename - it doesn't do it automatically but it lets me do it exactly how i want. it can even extract tags from filenames so if you have a file 'band_songtitle-track#.mp3' you can get it to turn that into useful tags.
there's a trial version (30 days) and it costs $29 or so after that... but i think worth it. my collection is organized exactly how i want. i don't like software trying to guess by itself, my collection has a lot of non-mainstream music and a lot of brand spanking new dj sets which it would never figure out properly.

I have used Jaikoz (which connects or is used by MusicBrainz). It works very well (but slow).
One thing... If you use iVolume to adjust your volume, select the preferences that disallow any changes to the comments field. iVolume tags are in the comments field and, if they are mucked with, you will get errors. This is what I experienced and it was a pain to fix. (Be sure to make backups before you make any tag changes).
