I have aquired a lot of mp3 from a dead PC but I could only get them as untitled and track 1, track 2 etc. is there a way I can get amarok to find the cd and track info??

If your amarok is built with musicbrainz support, you can have amarok try to guess the file's tag in the "Edit Track Information" view. Of course you'd have to do it for every file.

Tools like musicbrainz' own "picard" tagger or easytag can speed up the process of tagging lots of files dramatically. At least easytag should be in your distribution's repository.

When I select a track and then edit track info, I then click on the "Tags" tab and then clcik on "Fill in tags using Musicbrainz" and it just sits there thinking about it (I have left for a couple of hours) with no results.

Any other suggestion

Amarok version 1.4.1 (from the Debian testing respoitory)
Debian Testing with 2.6.15 kernel
KDE 3..5.4 (again from Debian)
