Linux audio tagger

Puddletag offers a host of functionality you’re not likely to find in a single tagger, including:

• Retrieving tags from clipboard - why copy track data from a website, save it to a file and only then write it… pop it into the clipboard and write it from memory?
• Fully customisable screen layout. Drag and drop windows to where you’d like them or turn them off altogether.
• Fully customisable Tag Panel.
• Extended Tags view/editing including visual confirmation of what’s going to be added/ edited and/ or deleted - no more guessing what you’ve put in train…changes are colour coded according to the nature of the changes you make (distinguishing between additions, edits and deletions).
• Drag and drop columns in main view to reorder them
• Right click on a column header to add additional columns
• A spreadsheet-like layout that enables selection of individual tags/cells across multiple files and performing operations on the selected tags only
• Copy and paste any combination of tags to multiple files in a single operation
• Quick search and replace of text across selected tags/ cells or entire tracks using Ctrl-H (no need to write an action for a quick search/ replace operation)
• ability to see stored tags as written to file (i.e. without tagname translation) to help resolve pesky issues like ID3 and Vorbis tag types in a single file
• ability to tag single tracks using tag sources (handy when the album you’re looking for doesn’t exist in tag sources, but the songs do exist in other albums found in tag sources (why tag by hand when you can just take track metadata from other albums)
• easily select all tracks in a folder using a hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-S) (no more dragging the mouse cursor around and shift-clicking)
• resize/ relocate/ close windows (configure your workspace to suit you, and puddletag will remember window locations when you reactivate them)
• realtime results feedback when defining actions (takes the guessing out of whether an action or a function is going to do what you’re hoping it will do…you see the results an action will generate as you define it)
• dynamically change main window font size to suit your needs
• launch puddletag with a predefined font size designed to suit your needs
• (optionally) dynamically size columns to match tag metadata
• predefined and readily editable tag patterns always available to you through a pulldown menu
• customisable hotkeys
