Looks interesting, although I think that (based on the screenshots)
MP3Tag is a bit geekier.  It looks like a nicer UI though.
One of the most valuable features (to me) of MP3Tag is that it allows
me to use a Tag->Filename string like:

d:\incoming\$replace($replace($replace($replace(%artist%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','')\$replace($replace($replace($replace(%album%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','')$if($isdigit(%DISC%),\Disc
%DISC%$iflonger(%DISCTITLE%,0,(%DISCTITLE%),),)\$replace($replace($replace($replace(%artist%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','')
- $replace($replace($replace($replace(%album%,/,-),'&','+'),':','-'),'?','')
- $num(%track%,2) -
$replace($replace($replace($replace(%title%,/,-),&,+),':',','),?,)

This lets me replace illegal characters with the character of my
choice in each case, and also end up with directory structures that
vary depending on whether the disc is a multi-disc set.  For example:
D:\incoming\Bill Hicks\Egham\Disc 1\Bill Hicks - Egham - 01 - Fascists
1 Humans Nothing.mp3

Also, being able to use regular expressions in actions on tags is
invaluable.  Even for simple stuff like removing numbers from the
front of filenames - I've yet to hit a limit on it.
Cheers
Geoff
