I have found the lack of a really good tagger native to Linux / Ubuntu to be very irritating.
EasyTag is great - except I cannot use it to work on my .m4a files. Maybe people throw their iPods away after switching to Linux? I didn't know that. Mp3tag is probably the best tagger I have ever used, and it works almost perfectly under wine, but it does have a few problems. I have lots of files with strange characters in the file names and they look fine in the Nautilus File Manager, but when these files are loaded into Mp3tag under wine, these characters are not interpreted correctly, and when that happens, the Mp3tag realizes something terrible is happening, and does not show the tag information - it is blank. Amarok - actually pretty good. I can edit tags for all the file formats I use, and it handles unusual characters without any trouble. It is not a dedicated tag editor however, and is cumbersome unless I am fixing a tag for just one or two tracks. Picard - I will try this one again. I tried using it in the past, and I could not get used to it - maybe it has gotten easier. exFalso - similar to Picard - I tried it once and disliked it. I may have to try it again. Tag&Rename - I used it in the past, when I lived in Windows. I am not using it now because it is not free. If nothing else satisfies, I will try using it again under Wine - as a last resort. I don't mind sending money to people if I like their software, but I don't like being required to. -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44055 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
