I have a huge library that I have gotten here and there.
Is there a way to scan for files that have incomplete tags?
For example, files that lack an artist or title embedded in the tag?
I just trolled manually through my "R" folder and found an album without good tags. It was a lot of work. I am sure there are more.
Thanks.

+1 that is what I do as well.
and remember that MP3tag integrates with Explorer/ Total Commander so you can right click on a single track or sug-directoryMain: Receiver (Audiocom) -> Beresford Caiman+ (Gatorized) -> Carver A-500x -> B&W 704

In Mp3tag use the filtering capability (F3). Load up your whole library, hit F3, then enter the following filtering expressions:
To list all files with missing artist:
artist MISSING
To list all files with missing title:
title MISSING
Or, to find files where either one is missing:
artist MISSING OR album MISSING
See the Mp3gag help for additional filtering help and examples of more complicated filtering.
