NAME
puddletag - puddletag
SYNOPSIS
puddletag [options] [directory path]
DESCRIPTION
puddletag is an audio tag editor (primarily created) for GNU/Linux
similar to the Windows program, Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers for
GNU/Linux, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you
want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.
The usual tag editor features are supported like extracting tag
information from filenames, renaming files based on their tags by using
patterns and basic tag editing.
Then there're Functions, which can do things like replace text, trim
it, do case conversions, etc. Actions can automate repetitive tasks.
You can import your QuodLibet library, lookup tags using Amazon
(including cover art), Discogs (does cover art too!), FreeDB and
MusicBrainz. There's quite a bit more, but I've reached my comma quota.
Supported formats: ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.),
VorbisComments (ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and
WavPack (wv).
OPTIONS
