Tag&Rename for sorting out tags, filenames etc.
Totally intuitive, does what you thing it should & then a bit more
(rename files from tags, get tags from filename etc etc etc)
Worth shelling out the $20 or whatever for the proper version

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
Depends.
If you want complete control, and like to know what folder everything's in (also, if you have an old computer), then ADB's suggestion would be good.
Otherwise - iTunes. Simple, easy, hides all the complications from you.
If you don't want itunes to move any files around, there's a setting in preferences (so skip the 'scan for music' step right at the beginning)

I use musicmatch but I bought the full version years ago which has super tagging, without the supertagging it's not all that good for organising, with it it's one of the best
Mediamonkey is very good as well. www.mediamonkey.com it's got some very intuitive sorting options
iTunes COMPLETLY messed up my music folders I wouldn't recommend it at all.

If you like the look of Tag&Rename, but don't want to shell out $20, you might want to look at The Godfather - pretty much the same thing, only free. I'm not sure if it supports all the Apple formats (m4a, m4p etc) but it will do ogg, flac, aac, and mp4 among others. And it's incredibly flexible - you can write your own scripts for batch processing, if you're that way inclined.

What's a great program for sorting out my MP3s?
I'm fed up battling with the chaos that it my half-arsedly filed collection of MP3s, so I'm looking for a program that can add track info, flag up duplicates and do lots of other useful stuff.
At the moment all my MP3s are scattered on a drive in various folders but it takes me forever to find stuff.
Any suggestions*? I don't mind paying for a boss program.
*but not iTunes, thanks

I really like the Quintessential Media Player. Probably not quite what you want, but easy mp3 tagging, browsing, sorting etc

I'm warming to this mediamonkey prog, although Songbird looks mighty purdy.

yeah thats what i use (free version - doesn't rip but seems to do evertything else)
I like it - it sometimes frustrates me but that is probably more due to me pulling music over a NAS than media monkey - the auto tagging from amazon is a great feature as is multi-editing names - i like this prog quite a bit actually - and it is going someway to sorting out the 80gb of music that itunes absoultely fucked over
