EasyTag

EasyTag is a free and open-source tag editor for several audio formats, primarily designed for the Linux operating system but also available for Windows. Its primary function is to view and edit metadata tags within audio files. These tags contain information such as the artist, album, title, track number, and genre of a song.

EasyTag supports a wide range of audio file formats, including MP3, MP4/AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, Musepack, Monkey's Audio, and WavPack. The software provides a graphical user interface for browsing and editing tags, as well as features for batch tag editing, which allows users to modify tags across multiple files simultaneously. This can be particularly useful for organizing large music collections.

Key features of EasyTag include:

• Tag Editing: Allows users to manually edit tag fields for individual audio files.
• Batch Tagging: Enables users to apply the same tag changes to multiple files at once, saving time and effort.
• Automatic Tagging: Some versions offer features for automatically suggesting tags based on filenames or directory structures.
• CDDB Support: Can connect to online CD databases (CDDB) to retrieve tag information for audio files ripped from CDs.
• Filename-Based Tagging: Allows users to populate tag fields based on the filenames of the audio files.
• Directory-Based Tagging: Enables users to populate tag fields based on the directory structure in which the audio files are located.
• Recursive Subdirectory Processing: Can process audio files within multiple nested subdirectories.

EasyTag is often used by music collectors and enthusiasts to ensure their digital music libraries are well-organized and consistently tagged. Its open-source nature allows for community contributions and ongoing development. The software is generally considered user-friendly and effective for managing audio file metadata.
