Comments on Tag Sound Files With Easytag (Linux Mint 12)
Tag Sound Files With Easytag (Linux Mint 12) This tutorial is supposed to show you how to change your sound files' information like artist or title, also called tags, in a fast way using Easytag. I am using Linux Mint 12 as an operating system, however the steps should not differ greatly from other Ubuntu based distributions. Easytag is only capable of tagging MP3, MP2, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP4/AAC, MusePack or Monkey's Audio files.

Easytag is indeed a fine program for music tagging.
Mind you, when using easytag on different computers to manage a central music base, see to it that the tag options, like idv3.1 tag on/off, are the same on all systems.
If not, one will experience an endless "loop" when easytag is automatically correcting tags according to it's settings on each of the systems.
How about a command-line tool?
Using a GUI tool for this is overkill. I used to use kid3, but realised that it was far from efficient and so wrote a small python CLI program, which I use all the time.
I installed easytag on an Ubuntu system, that uses the Samba client to mount a filesystem containing mp3's on a fedora Samba server. The Ubuntu client would not process the mp3's. Installing easytag on the fedora server, and running easytag on the server worked.
