Next, Ctrl+A the notepad document, Ctrl+C, and go back into foobar. Make sure all the same files are still highlighted, and this part is important: MAKE DAMN SURE the files are in the CORRECT ORDER. You're about to re-tag them all so it'll be a shit show if the files aren't loaded into foobar in the correct track order.

Right click the album group, go down to Tagging > Manage Scripts (protip: you can bind a hotkey to open this window for you, too!)

You're going to click "Add > Input data (one line per track)" then double click the field that is added up above on the left.

Scheme: %artist%¶%discnumber%¶%track%¶%title%¶%album%¶%date%¶%comment%
Input data: Ctrl+V paste the album data, click OK

Under "Tracks to process" on the right you'll see all the changes it's about to make to your files. If everything looks good, click Run.

After you're satisfied with the tags, you can run your hot keys to rename the files to "01. title.mp3" and rename the folder to "album title" or "artist - album title"

And that's all. If you're doing it right at this point it shouldn't take more than 20 seconds to retag an album, which comes out to just over an hour to re-tag as many as 200 albums using this process. It'd take phenomenally less time if Niipah would just fucking add freedb query support to VocaDB but he's openly stated that's never going to happen. Ask me any questions you want and I'll answer them throughout the night.

I've also got a method of renaming/re-encoding JPEG/PNG files to be "cover.jpg" if you're particular about cover art as well.

I'll write up a pastebin-acceptable tutorial later.
