Puddletag is an audio tag editor for Linux, very similar to the popular Windows application Mp3tag.
The MusicBrainz and Discogs music tag sources stopped working in the latest stable Puddletag version for quite some time because of API changes but today, a new Puddletag version has been released (1.0 beta), finally bringing support for the latest MusicBrainz and Discogs APIs.
Puddletag 1.0 beta also comes with full support for
Mp3tag tag sources (in my test though, I couldn't get any Mp3tag tag sources to work for some reason -
bug reported), mass tagging improvements and
other changes.
This is a beta so you might encounter bugs - report them
here.
Download Puddletag
Because this is a beta release, I didn't upload it to our stable
Puddletag PPA. You can however install the latest Puddletag 1.0 beta in Ubuntu and stay up to date with future beta releases by using the
WebUpd8 Unstable PPA. You can also download the .deb / source from its
website.

Puddletag is a Linux audio tag editor similar to Mp3tag (a popular Windows audio tagging tool) that supports ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.), VorbisComments (ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and WavPack (wv). I had this post saved as a draft for a few days because of a
bug in Puddletag 0.10.4 which was finally fixed today in Puddletag 0.10.6.
So versions 0.10.5 and 0.10.6 only come with bug fixes but
Puddletag 0.10.4 which was recently released, comes with some very interesting improvements:- export artwork to file option
- a filter that behaves like the one in Mp3tag (more info about that here)
- retrieve track artists for Various Artist albums (for the Discogs tag source)
- Unicode support for Replace with Regular Expression function
- Tag to filename and Tag->Dir functions now handle patterns like '../%artist%' and './%artist%/%album%' correctly.
- improved mass-tagging feature
You can find the complete changelog
here.
As usual, the latest Puddletag is available in the Puddletag WebUpd8 PPA so Ubuntu users (Lucid, Maverick, Natty and Oneiric) can install it using the commands below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/puddletag
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install puddletag
For other Linux distributions, see the
Puddletag download page.
