With the exception of Ex Falso, I think easytag is as good as it
gets in the straight Linux tagging market. I've used it to do
some pretty hairy tag manipulation and it does what I want 95%
of the time. For some trickier things, I've also used eyed3
(iirc). There was one Windows tagging tool that had some
features I've never seen somewhere else (it was Russian, that's
all I remember), but I've lived without them quite easily.

Indeed it does. bukharin's description of the process is the
same that I use. I'd add only one step: once you have your
stack of wav files, how do you cut it up? audacity works well
for me in this instance.

I have to say that I have used this tool for a looong time and
it's only recently that I realized I could manipulate the artist
and album title on my searches (i.e. - it isn't dependent simply
on the album you click on). This allowed me to find covers for
~2-300 albums that previously didn't work. Just in case you
didn't notice it either :-)
