Default I can't build a script to change ID3 Tags

Hi, I'm trying in the last couple of days to write a script that will help me change the ID3 Tags in my music folder (meaning the details of the song - title, artist, album etc). I have many songs, so I really don't want to change it all manually. plus, all of my filenames have the same format: "ARTIST - TITLE".

so I googled for some information, and I did found an object that seems to suit my needs: CDDBControl.CddbID3Tag.
this is my first vb program in years, so I tryed to make stuff shorter, and I didn't download the microsoft visual basic. instead, I've downloaded some simple compiler - it's called ExeScript. anyway, I've written my program, compiled it, and got this error message:
"ActiveX component can't create object: CDDBControl.CddbID3Tag".

so I googled again for some information. apparently I needed some dll file called "cddbcontrol.dll". I've downloaded it and registered it with regsvr32. still didn't work. tryed to download the file from a different location - didn't work.
This dll file is a dll that comes with AOL. so guess what I did? that's right, I've downloaded trial version of AOL, just for this dam'n dll.
and guess what? still didn't work.

on the desperation stage, I blamed my compiler for all this, so I downloaded Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express.
and guess what. still didn't work.

I'm hopeless here guys, If you won't be able to help me I'll just change the ID3 tags manually...

I think so... as I said, I haven't touched VB for years. I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express, and it did install VB.net during the installation...

Default wait.

I wasn't clear enough. I'm using VB, I had only tryed to change to program, to see if that's the cause. but the script language IS vb.

here is a link to the page with info about ID3 scripting:
Batch change of ID3 tags by VB Script in MP3 and other files.

thank you.

Default ok, if anybody else wants it:

I've given up about building my own script. However, there's a free software that does this job for us. great software: ID3-TagIT.

Cheers!

Why do you want to use VB Script? Why not using normal VB?
