Which MP3 tagger do you use?

urlwolf:
by the way, foobar 9.5 beta 3 is out.
Check out the new default interface, really functional, very usable.
Not much use of title formating.
Looks great out of the box, you can have cover art, a volume bar (!!! :) ), without installing a single component.

The search function are the spartest I've ever seen.

MP3Tag here, the best I've found for keyboard-only operation. I've turned all confirmations off, and editing the tags is now like typing in a document - just type and it's done.

Darwin:
Actually, the Total Commander reference reminds me that yet another option I have used (and rued due to the aforementioned conflicts that arise) is DOpus. It's pretty much restricted to ogg and mp3 but is actually quite easy to use. If it would do BATCH tagging I'd probably use it...

tinjaw:
I use a combination of Picard and Media Monkey Pro.

CWuestefeld:
Wow, Thinking about this, I've got a whole slew of tools I've used, depending on the need.

First, for bulk operations I use Zortam (http://www.zortam.com) or The Godfather (http://mahopa.de/tgf/) or MediaMonkey (http://www.mediamonkey.com).

* Zortam - Good automation for downloading images and lyrics.
* Godfather - Good parsing of tags from filenames.
* MediaMonkey - Only thing I can find that handles bulk files and understand AlbumArtist tag. Also, using sripting, is good for straightening out your Genres.
For a major overhaul, you may find MusicIP (http://www.MusicIP.com) helpful. They've got some kind of magic algorithm that identifies tracks from the audio itself rather than tags or filenames, and then assigns the tags properly. The accuracy is stunning. Also, they're pretty good for generating random but coherent playlists.

Finally, for a repairing a quick error, I use a shell extension called MP3-info (http://www.mutschler.de/mp3ext). This adds a page to the file properties dialog for Windows Explorer, so you don't need to start up a special application. It also gives you different icons for .MP3 files, depending on its bitrate.
