Puddletag

Puddletag is an audio tag editor (primarily created for) GNU/Linux similar to Mp3tag and Kid3. Unlike most taggers, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.

Lacks the automation of Musicbrainz Picard, but unmatched in manual updating of tags. If you have a lot of one-off songs, this is a must.

Have you searched for an alternative to Mp3tag on Linux? This is it. It has, just as Mp3tag, the very best user interface you can have for editing tags on a large amount of files - basically a spreadsheet. But with advanced tagging functions for mass tagging too. I have seen no other media tagger using the spreadsheet type of interface, and it has been one of several small things that kept me away from Linux. And finally I found it - Thank You!

Used for tagging several thousand numerically named .MP3 files. Worked fantastically!

Much better than EasyTAG! Great for people who want actual control over what goes into the tag fields. Just like in Mp3tag.

working very well with large libraries.

supports regular expressions.

The problem is: it is written in python2... soon it will rot, as support for python2 is closed.

This is most clean tagger I've came across in Linux

This is a simple and powerful tool to suit up your downloaded mp3-junk. 3 clicks - and your library looks like a drugstore.

Picard and "EasyTag" - 3000% motherfucking piece of shit!!! Puddletag rules motherfucka! From Russia witn love.

What is Puddletag?

Puddletag is an audio tag editor (primarily created for) GNU/Linux similar to Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.

The usual tag editor features are supported like extracting tag information from filenames, renaming files based on their tags by using patterns (that you define, not crappy, uneditable ones).

Then there're Functions, which can do things like replace text, trim, change the case of tags, etc. Actions can automate repetitive tasks. You can import your QuodLibet library, lookup tags using MusicBrainz, FreeDB or Amazon and more.
