About puddletag
puddletag is an audio tag editor for GNU/Linux similar to the Windows program Mp3tag. It uses a spreadsheet-like layout so tags edited by hand are visible and editable.
It can extract tag information from filenames, rename files based on tags using patterns, apply Functions such as text replacement and case conversion, automate repetitive tasks with Actions, and look up tags and cover art from Amazon, Discogs, FreeDB and MusicBrainz. Releases are very infrequent, and the site lists version 2.0.1.
