lol if you want a detailed one, this is what i do...
i am very anal when it comes to my mp3 collection
1. All my collection is in artist/album
2. All mp3's are labeled %track - %artist - %title
3. All mp3's are normalized to 92
4. All albums have album cover
5. All mp3's are tagged with the correct year, title, album, artist and genre (genre is in the eye of the beholder)
6. All covers are named Folder.jpg
Tools i use are...
Covers
Album Art Downloader (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/)
Jukebox Cover Manager (

Mp3 Tagging
Tag And Rename (

Normalization
Mp3Gain (

Mp3 Management
Helium Music Manager 2009 (
www.helium-music-manager.com/)
Jukebox Program
Freebox Version 4 (
http://www.freeboxjukebox.com)
How i use this...
Juekbox cover manager goes through the directories and downloads walmart, buy, amazon and album exchange covers. I pick the one i want rename it to Folder.jpg and delete the rest
For the ones Jukebox Cover Manager does not find, i use Album Art Downloader, which i search manually across about 20 different sites
Once i have all the covers, i use tag and rename to correct tagging, i make sure all mp3's have the correct year, title, album, artist and genre (genre is in the eye of the beholder)...oh also i save the album cover inside the mp3. Once the tags are complete i rename all files to %track - %artist - %title
Then i run Mp3Val to make sure all my mp3's are in good nick
I then mp3 gain all mp3's to 92
Now they go into the collection for Freebox. I do use Helium Music Manager 2009 for doing searches, just incase i forgot to remove certain names ie (Bonus Track). I run this process every month or so...not all the time...
