Angry Fire Music Woes in Iraq

As most of you know I am deployed right now. My iPod just crapped out on me and I have to replace it. With the money over here no porblem. I got the 60GB iPod. With the new iPod coming and none of my cd's here I had to find a program that would take the music off my iPod so that I could put it on the new one. I found iPod Access. Its a great program that lets you take the music off the iPod and put it on your computer. The problem is the tagging was a bit buggy. Most of my files are now tagged a bit strange. Not to mention the new iPod will show album art and such. This brings me to my frustrations. I need to find a program that will find song titles correct albums, track numbers, ect. Standard tagging stuff. I also need something that will find the album art. So far Musicmatch Jukebox has worked great for me but that just crapped out and I can't seem to get it to work anymore. It won't load my music library. I looked into using windows media player, but that won't work either because the airforce has blocked that due to "streaming media". Long story short I need a program that will let me tag my music correctly and find the album art. Anyone got any ideas?

I already ordered a new iPod, but thanks for the site. I'm mainly looking for a program like musicmatch that will tag and look up album art. My musicmatch bit the dust, so I need something else to do my "supper tagging"

When you go down that list at the ITunes forum site you will come across this : http://discussions.info.apple.com/we...Yc.0@.68a5059b
That is for the CDDB, the data base, and purpose of it's existence is to tag and look up album art (pod casting and radio are nice but they're not your interest).
Post what you want done there and they'll tell you how to get the data base to do it.
