There is this shareware program called "mp3 tag studio" or something like that for Windows machines, but I couldn't tell you the name to look up...

I've had good luck with MP3 Rage for Macintosh.

i use (for windows) ID3-TagIT. very handy, not overly difficult.

iTunes.

I have to agree with Kenan there. I was searching and searching for a nice tagging utility for Windows or Linux for years, switching between various apps for various tasks. I even attempted to write my own a couple times. But I started using iTunes a few months ago and it really is a dream. Everythings just so... easy. I now have all the information including the album cover on each and every mp3 and m4a file I own. Now if it just supported ogg I'd be in heaven.

Best program I've used for PC is called, simply enough. MP3Tag. You can do anything and everything related to (ID3) tag creation, editing, numbering, etc. I used it recently to re-tag my entire (6000+) MP3 collection, for consistencies sake, and it worked like a charm.

Enjoy.

santesh.com's recommendation is really the easiest-to-use, but in case you ever become a power user who needs to run complex macros on folders of audio files (i.e., format track number style, fill out tags from filenames, etc.), Tag & Rename is very powerful and simple enough once you get the hang of it. I retag batches of files quite often to fit my own consistent/comprehensive tagging scheme (I'm so anal), and it saves SO much time. Handles OGG & WMA too.

itunes is horrible for id3 tagging because if it isn't tagged to begin with, once you put it in itunes, you can't even find it, it just becomes some unknown artist, unknown song title, unknown album nameless file. I hate that. I wish it would at least make an attempt to interpret based on the file name or something.
