Not really.
There are programs that will help, like Media Monkey... They'll automate parts of the process. Tagging and organizing music is a tedious project, though, and to do it right you're going to have a lot of manual intervention.
none of it was tagged when you originally uploaded them?
this will help

but in the long run you will have to do all the work yourself. I have over 420 gigs of mp3 and other various sound clips that I use for movie editing/post production and they all get entered as I add them.
spent the better part of 4 months solid re tagging my files after a swap. now I run it all on a mirrored server

IMO this is very good advice.
I also run mirrored drives on my server (Which holds all my MP3's). Sure it's not a catastrophic (fire/flood) proof back up but I never worry about my HDDs crashing. If one does I simply add another. The odds of both drives failing at once is low enough for me to not worry about it.
Anything truly mission critical is backed up to optical discs (CD/DVD) which are replaced periodically and stored in a fire proof safe.
i keep my mission critical porn on large jump drives
Doesn't iTunes automatically organize music? I haven't used it in ages but I could swear it did that.
i use Tag&Rename, which works well, and you can build little macros which help quite a bit. but it really only works well on complete albums, where it can pull metatag info from either freedb.org or amazon...if you are talking single tracks, unless the file names have the info you want, you can't do that much.
has anyone ever used musicbrainz?

seems interesting but i never really got around to playing w/ it.
When you say mirrored server, do you mean mirrored disks, or an offsite server that is synced?
Because if you're running the former and have a fire or theft, you're SOL...
raid 6 with full hot swap.
boy does that sounds dirty.

Build a 10 hdd raid 6 server, encase it in a liquid cooled, fire-proof safe, and run it from your panic room
