After months of development, testing, recoding, enhancement and more testing I'm pleased to announce the arrival of puddletag. If you've kept a windows partition around just so you can use mp3tag or have resorted to using mp3tag under Wine, you now have at your disposal an open-source native Linux alternative. It uses a table layout so that all the tags you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable. However, puddletag excels at automating repetitive tasks like extracting tag information from filenames, tagging files from text file or clipboard, renaming files and folders based on tags by using patterns and manipulating tags using actions and regular expressions.
Supported formats include: id3v1, id3v2 (mp3), AAC (m4a, etc.), VorbisComments (.ogg, .flac) and APEv2 (.ape). Much of mp3tag's functionality has been duplicated with added enhancements and tweaks. Features include: - Renaming files via tags. - Retrieving tags from filenames, text files and clipboard. - Track numbering including across folders. - Fully customisable screen layout. Drag and drop windows to where you'd like them or turn them off altogether - Fully customiseable tag panel. - Extended tags view/editing including visual confirmation of what's going to be added/ edited and/ or deleted. - Adding/Removing/changing cover art for FLAC and ID3. - User defined actions to manipulate tags including support for regular expressions. - Musicbrainz integration for tag lookups (*** more to come***) - Copy and paste any combination of tags to multiple files In addition to the above there are many additional features planned and/ or under development with the aim being to make puddletag the tool of choice for tag editing in Linux.

In fact I heard that if you paint your CD's green, put an M&M on the top of each speaker and stick a Brazilian carrot in your ass while sipping ginseng tea your stereo will never sound better!
