EasyTAG is an utility for viewing, editing and writing the ID3 tags of different audio files, using a GTK+ interface.

Currently EasyTAG supports the following:

• View, edit, write tags of MP3, MP2 files (ID3 tag), FLAC files (FLAC Vorbis tag), Ogg Vorbis files (Ogg Vorbis tag), MP4/M4A/AAC files (MPEG-4 Part 10 tag), and MusePack, Monkey's Audio files (APE tag),
• Auto tagging: parse filename and directory to complete automatically the fields (using masks),
• Ability to rename files from the tag (using masks) or by loading a text file,
• Process selected files of the selected directory,
• Ability to browse subdirectories,
• Recursion for tagging, removing, renaming, saving...,
• Can set a field (artist, title,...) to all other selected files,
• Read file header information (bitrate, time, ...) and display it,
• Undo and redo last changes,
• Ability to process fields of tag and file name (convert letters into uppercase, downcase, ...),
• Ability to open a directory or a file with an external program,
• CDDB support (from http protocol),
• A tree based browser,
• A list to select files,
• A playlist generator window,
• A file searching window,
• Simple and explicit interface!,
• French, German, Russian, Dutch, Hungarian, Swedish, Italian, Japanese, Ukrainian, Czech, Spanish, Polish and Romanian translation language,

Entagged is a audiofile tagger, using the freedb online database for the retrieval of the tags. It supports custom file renaming from tags (with any directory stucture) and vice versa. Supports: mp3, ogg, flac, mpc, ape, wma.

Ex Falso displays and edits audio metadata tags. Supported formats include MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (MPC), WavPack, and MOD/XM/IT.

Notable features include:

• Freeform tag editing for most supported formats, including ID3v2
• Multiple values for tag keys
• Flexible rename-by-tags and tag-by-filename patterns
• Extensible using simple Python-based plugins
• Edit multiple files in several formats at once

gmusicbrower is a powerful graphic browser which supports libraries with a great number of songs (>10,000)

It can use multiple inputs and plays MP3, OGG and flac files; it also supports mass-renaming and mass-retagging of a song library, multiple genres per song, ratings and customizable labels

The window layout is also customizable and it ships natively plugins to use last.fm, retrieve lyrics, find album pictures and WebContext which, through the mozilla/webkit engine will display the wikipedia artist's page and search lyrics with google.

Tool used to rename batches of mpeg3 files by reading the ID3 tag at the end of the file which contains the song name, artist, album, year, and a comment.

The secondary function of id3ren is a tagger, which can create, modify, or remove ID3 tags. The id3 fields can be set on the command line, entered interactively, or "guessed" from the path and the filename.

lltag is a command-line tool manipulating MP3 ID3, OGG or FLAC tags. It may be used to tag multiples files at once by comparing their filename or pathname against a configurable list of formats, or by getting tags from the CDDB database.

lltag may also rename files according to a configurable filename format. The interface has been designed to be as automatic, efficient and smart as possible.

Mp3rename is a small tool to rename all those badly named mp3 files.

The generated file name can be based on the id3tags; title, album, year, track and/or artist.

mpgtx is a tool to manipulate MPEG files. Its features include the following:

• mpgtx can currently split and join MPEG 1 video files and most MPEG audio files.
• mpgtx can fetch detailed information from MPEG 1 and MPEG 2.
• mpgtx can demultiplex MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 files (System layer, Program layer and Transport Layer).
• mpgtx can add, remove and edit ID3 tags from mp3 files and rename mp3 files according to their ID3 tags. It reads and writes ID3v1, but only reads ID3v2.

Picard is the next generation MusicBrainz tagging application.

This new tagging concept is album oriented, as opposed to track oriented like the others taggers are.

Audio Tag Tool is a program to manage the information fields in MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files (commonly called tags). Tag Tool can be used to edit tags one by one, but the most useful features are mass tag and mass rename. These are designed to tag or rename hundreds of files at once, in any desired format.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of:

• The stream format
• libFLAC, which implements a reference encoder, stream decoder, and file decoder
• flac, which is a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac files
• Input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the works)

This package contains the command-line tools flac (used for encoding and decoding FLACs) and metaflac (used for manipulating FLAC metadata.)

JuK is a powerful music player capable of managing a large music collection.

Some of JuK's features include:

• Music collection, playlists, and smart playlists
• Tag editing support, including the ability to edit multiple files at once
• Tag-based music file organization and renaming
• CD burning support using k3b
• Album art using Google Image Search

This package is part of the KDE multimedia module.

vorbis-tools contains oggenc (an encoder), ogg123 (a playback tool), ogginfo (displays ogg information), oggdec (decodes ogg files), vcut (ogg file splitter), and vorbiscomment (ogg comment editor).

ogg123 can play both Ogg Vorbis and FLAC audio streams.
