If you want to easily tag multiple MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio and WavPack files (e.g. full albums) without typing the same information again and again and have control over both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, then Kid3 is the program you are looking for.

Features

With Kid3 you can:

* Edit ID3v1.1 tags
* Edit all ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 frames
* Convert between ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags
* Edit tags in MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio and WavPack files
* Edit tags of multiple files, e.g. the artist, album, year and genre of all files of an album typically have the same values and can be set together.
* Generate tags from filenames
* Generate filenames from tags
* Rename and create directories from tags
* Generate playlist files
* Automatically convert upper and lower case and replace strings
* Import from gnudb.org, TrackType.org, MusicBrainz, Discogs and other sources of album data
* Export tags as CSV, HTML, playlists, Kover XML and in other formats

Requirements

Kid3 uses Qt, id3lib, libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, libFLAC++, libFLAC, TagLib, mp4v2, libtunepimp and runs under Linux (KDE or only Qt) and Windows.

:: about ::

prokyon3 is a multithreaded music manager and tag editor for Unix (developed on Linux). It was written in C++ using the Qt3 widget set and the MySQL database. prokyon3 can access MP3, Ogg and FLAC files on harddisk, CDROM or network. Files can be played using XMMS (default) or other players. The file view is customizable and favorite artists are supported. prokyon3 also offers an editor for ID3 and Ogg tags and has been designed to support tagging for large quantities of files.

Beside it's own features prokyon3 is able to interact with a lot of other programms. Thanks to it's configurable interfaces you can combine prokyon3 with cd burners, media players and data aggregators of your choice.

:: current status ::

We decided to still release minor feature enhancements based on the Qt3 version of prokyon3 instead of totally focus on the Qt4 port. So enjoy prokyon3 0.9.6 ;-)

Meanwhile we heard about "professional" usage of prokyon3. There're some small radio stations and some pubs running prokyon3 :-)

If you want to use MySQL embedded you have to link against MySQL 4.0.x. MySQL 4.1.x and 5.1.x are currently not supported due to API changes by MySQL. MySQL 5.0.x doesn't support embedding at all. MySQL 5.1.x is currently beta. If it's final we will switch to the new API. If you don't want to embedd MySQL but using a regular MySQL server it doesn't matter which version of MySQL you're using.

The windows version of prokyon3 is currently unsupported unless we ported prokyon3 to Qt4. The latest windows version 0.9.1 is in fact a backport to Qt2 which was freely available for this platform this time but lacks multi threading support. That's why prokyon3 runs so slow on windows.

:: what's next? ::

Due to the fact that Trolltech released Qt4 which is freely available for other platforms (Windows and MacOS X) we'll port prokyon3 to Qt4.
Unfortunately that isn't easy because prokyon3 is multithreaded and threading itself has been heavily changed for Qt4. In fact it will result in a rewrite of prokyon3's cor

My aim here is to create a Musicbrainz command line tagger. I'm mostly doing this to meed my own personal requirements which are:

1. Ability to rip, encode, tag and fetch cover art from CDs in a fully automated manner (zero key-presses, zero UI clicks).

2. For all the albums in my collection, connect to Musicnrainz and touch up the filenames, coverart and tags to refelct any changes to the database. This only works if the tracks already have musicbrainz identifiers. Fully automatic / no user interaction.

3. For any albums in my collection without musicbrainz tags, attempt to figure them out based on the existing tags or filenames. It shouldn't be too clever when doing this, only find matches where the album name, artist and number of tracks coincide. Maybe add some way of hinting to the tagger which release it should be.

Currently stage 1 works fine, I'm working on stage 2.

TagLib is a library for reading and editing the meta-data of several popular audio formats. Currently it supports both ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files, Ogg Vorbis comments and ID3 tags and Vorbis comments in FLAC, MPC, Speex, WavPack and TrueAudio files.

TagLib is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and Mozilla Public License (MPL). Essentially that means that it may be used in proprietary applications, but if changes are made to TagLib they must be contributed back to the project. Please review the licenses if you are considering using TagLib in your project.

The need for this comes up especially with SlimServer (the server component for the SqueezeBox network music player): if you rip your CD collection both to FLAC (for the SqueezeBoxes) and MP3 (for your iPod etc.) and store the files together, SlimServer will find 2 copies of every song, and will be happy to play either one (or both). Likewise if you have high and low-quality MP3s, or ogg files for the Squeezebox plus low-quality MP3s for your undersized MP3 player...

You can use mutl to build a tree of symlinks with the same organization as your main library, consisting only of links to the "best available quality" file for each duplicated track. It is implemented as a Python script.

Or you can build e.g. an MP3-only tree, so that iTunes will not see your FLACs (which it doesn't know how to handle anyway).

MUTL is pronounced approximately like "muddle", which is what it does... muddle through your music collection.

Die Qualitätssicherung eines Musikarchivs fängt bereits beim ersten Schritt an, dem Auslesen der Daten von der Audio-CD. Denn obwohl dieser Vorgang digital ist, ist bei der Verwendung "herkömmlicher" Software nicht sichergestellt, dass die ausgelesenen Daten korrekt und frei von Fehlern wie Störgeräuschen und Aussetzern sind. Die Ursache dafür ist, dass Audio-CDs keine zuverlässige Fehlerkorrekturebene besitzen, wie es bei Daten-CDs der Fall ist. Beim Auslesen von Daten-CDs übernimmt das CD-ROM-Laufwerk die Aufgabe der Fehlerkorrektur, bei Audio-CDs ist dies so nicht gewährleistet. Daher muss die Fehlerkorrektur von einer Software durchführt werden, um die Qualität der ausgelesenen Audiodaten sicherzustellen.

Das Freeware-Tool Exact Audio Copy hat sich hier über Jahre hinweg als eindeutig bestes Produkt für diesen Zweck erwiesen. Das von EAC dabei verwendete Ausleseverfahren wird Secure Mode genannt. Die optimalen Einstellungen für beste Qualität zu treffen, erfordert ein wenig Know-How. Diese Anleitung möchte Ihnen die Konfiguration und Bedienung von EAC erleichtern.

there was a thread on the flac mailing list about this. the current FLAC parser does not support the cdrdao PREGAP command. I'm not sure exactly how to handle it. it appears to use it to be a placeholder for silence that occurs between the end of the leadin (i.e. TOC i.e. first 150 sectors) and TRACK 01 INDEX 01. this is not always silent or even empty and if ripped in EAC as an image you actually get samples from it.

I think someone's workaround was to transmute the cue sheet so that the PREGAP became TRACK 01 INDEX 00, and increment the rest of the index times by the pregap length, and prepending that many samples of silence to the input. with standard unix tools this is not as hard as it sounds. when the cuesheet is corrected this way the correct cddb/cdindex IDs are generated.

For this type of task I currently use a combination of MP3Tag and MusicBrainz Picard (MBP). I work on one album at a time and the general flow is roughly: 1. Populate Album tag using MP3Tag. 2. Use MBP to get all the rest of the tag data. 3. Use MP3Tag to rename files using the data in the tags.

WARNING: This very detailed post makes the process sound long and labourious, but in reality it can take me under 2mins to do all the following steps.

1. In MP3Tag, navigate to the folder that contains all the tracks from an album (To open the folder browser, click the icon with the green tick over a folder - in the toolbar).

2. In MP3Tag, highlight all the tracks in the album.

3. In MP3Tag, enter the name of the Album in the left hand panel

4. In MP3Tag, click the disk icon at the top left (or Ron says Ctrl+S) to save name of the album in the appropriate tag of all those files.

5. In MBP, Navigate to the same folder using the left hand folder tree.

6. In MBP, drag all the tracks (or just the folder) from the left hand folder tree to the middle pane, where they should appear under the 'Unclassified' folder.

7. In MBP, Highlight the 'Unclassified' folder and click the 'Cluster' button on the toolbar. this should group the tracks in the middle pane under one folder named with the title of the album (that you entered in step 3).

8. In MBP, higlight the album folder that appeared in step 7.

9. In MBP, click the 'Lookup' button on the tool bar (It has a picture of a wand on it). This searches the online MB database for the closest match to your album (taking into consideration things like the name of the artist, the number of tracks, the length of the tracks).

[/indent]9a. If a match to the album is found, details of the album will appear in the right hand pane, and your tracks will hopefully automatically go from the middle pane to the right-hand pane. Expand the name of the album in the right hand pane to see all the tracks listed. **This is a bit buggy - sometimes clicking on the album does not expand the lis

I use Mp3Tag to modify tags in my music library (FLAC and mp3 files).

I often require multiple genre tags for each song, and instead of using some arbitrary divider, such as GENRE="Pop;Rock", I add several genre tags, such as GENRE="Pop" and GENRE="Rock". In Mp3Tag, there is a shortcut method for adding multiple tag name/value pairs, by writing GENRE="Pop\\Rock".

With FLAC files, the FLAC format supports multiple genres, so it writes two genre tags to the file.

With ID3 tags, there is no support for multiple genres, but there is an unofficial standard supported by many applications (eg. Mp3Tag, Foobar and SqueezeCenter) that writes one genre tag with the list of genres separated with a NULL.

Applications either understand this and read all genre values, or they only read the first genre value (reading up to the first NULL).

MusicIP seems to handle multiple genres in FLAC files, but only reads the first genre from ID3 tags. Whilst this isn't such a bad thing, MusicIP does lose the extra tag information when writing back archive analysis.
