I use a program called Audigen for cataloguing my music collection and it could easily do this by searching the database for a genre of "classics" and then selecting the resulting list and changing the genre to "classical".
Having said that, you could also do in windows media player. You could create an auto playlist where the genre is one value and then select all of the resulting tracks for that playlist and use the auto tag update to change all of the tags at once. Same applies for ITunes by creating a smart playlist based on the genre value and then selecting all and using control + I to do a bulk update.
MP3Tag is a very powerful tag editor and could certainly do the bulk tag update. I haven't used it for a while though and so I'm not sure if you can easily select a bunch of specific files to change as in the examples above.

HiI have about 8000 mp3 tracks on a usb drive from where Itunes gets it's music. many of the files have incomplete, or incorrect information tags. other than going through each song laboriously individually, does anyone know of a way of simplifying the system. for example, i have some categoriesj of music which show up more than once because they appear to have been spelled wrongly or tagged slightly differently (classics, classical for instance). I guess they must be a program somewhere?brian ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
