Download dbpoweramp, install, edit ID3 tags. Should be fairly easy.

It's probably because those songs are missing their tags for the artist name. Whatever you do, do NOT change the title to "Sonata Arctica - Full Moon". That's stupid. TITLE is for title only, not artist and title.

Depends.

If you have say, an entire album ripped, you can select the album, and perform the same action I gave you, and edit the album info all at the same time. That just leaves track names.

Otherwise you're SOL and have to do them all one at a time.

May I take this opportunity to point out that you could've saved yourself some time here, if you'd tagged them correctly as you got them? I realize you may not have known how at the time, nor cared, but now that you DO know, I strongly suggest you tag as you go.

And one final option... if any of them came from CDs, you can ditch the tracks in iTunes, let CDDB tag the tracks on the CD for you, and then reimport. But I imagine this is precisely how you managed to get some tracks tagged correctly, while others are not.

As long as you used iTunes to import the song (like you ripped it with iTunes or something) you can click on Advanced and then "Get CD Track Names"

Why would you want to label the track like that anyway...?

The name of the song is FullMoon NOT Full Moon.

I suggest using Foobar2000's masstagger plugin: very useful.

In options you can set it to format the tags exactly how you want.
