Pmetatagger-2.1 - a gtkdialog audio meta tagger
Posted: Fri 07 Dec 2007, 05:30
Just incase anyone looks at this thread I wanted to post that this project is dead and I started over with Ptag.

Type at the cli for help:
pmetatagger --help
for some cli commands to load specific directories or files which skips the file/directory chooser in the gui.
This is a program that tags audio files.
The program supports any of the following tagging command line programs (at least one needs to be installed):
metaflac: necessary for tagging flac files
vorbiscomment: tags ogg files (so does mp3info, id3tag, & apetag)
apetag: tags many different filetypes (worked on everthing I tried besides flac which was corrupted in the process).
id3tag, id3info, id3convert (3 cli programs in the same package): version 1 & version 2 tags. Version 2 tags work for mp3 and seemed to corrupt everything else. Version 1 tags worked on every format I tried except flac (which were corrupted). Pmetatagger will only allow version 2 tags on mp3s currently, everything else will default to version 1.
mp3info: same as version 1 id3tag (no support for version 2).
AtomicParsley: support for itunes tagging on m4a, m4b, m4p, m4v, & mp4 files.
No re-encoding is done to your files just (re)tagging them.
If you select a directory and a file type all of that filetype will be input into the gui otherwise you can select a single file. The current tags (if any) will be displayed in the gui and then you may edit and click next or quit. If you click Next your changes will be input into the file. Quit will exit the program and your changes will not be made. Clicking Next will move onto the next track in the list. Between the first and second tracks you'll have the option to click yes or no. If you click yes the previous tracks info will be displayed in the gui (except for the track Name which will be the current tag). The track number will be one greater than the previous. If you click no, the gui will just display the current tags for the file itself.
Here's a link to a thread for command line id3 taggers that pmetatagger supports:

Personally, I would recommend using the id3lib package. You may also want AtomicParsley if you have alot of itunes files since it supports itunes tagging fields.
As of version 1.3 I added support for jpg/jpeg files if jhead is installed in your $PATH.
