Rhythmbox can show the comment tag (ID3 tag), the checkbox under Preferences - General - Visible columns. But it does not include the comment-field in the search. Is there a way to include the comments in the search?
Lame doesn't have a command line option to record the ID3 metadata of the "Album Artist". How to do it?
I have some Bulgarian/Russian songs which have Cyrillic characters in them. Nautilus displays them fine , but in rhythmbox all their id3tag info is displayed as gibberish.
I have set the system language to Russian(UTF-8) .
Downloaded some program named mp3diags with which I tried to convert id3 tags to utf-8 but instead of gibberish the song was displayed with Chinese letters.
I tried to use EasyTag , but could not find out how to mass rename song titles or to convert them to UTF-8.
P.S There are some songs which are displayed right in rhythmbox (i.e I can see the artist name , album , song title just fine - all written in Cyrillic) , does that mean that the problem is in my Songs? If someone has faced similar problem I would be most grateful for some info on solving it.
I need to tag my MP3 library, and have tried kid3 (which was manual tagging), when I used Kubuntu 9.10 (I now use Ubuntu Meerkat) Here are the features I am hoping for:
- A good and clean UI.
- Tagging should be automatic, like Winamp's autotag feature, which rocks, btw!
- It should also embed the cover-art in the mp3, not copy a jpeg file in the folder, because now-a-days all players support displaying cover art. But acceptable if not possible.
- Rename the files as per some regular expression like %TrackNo - %Artist - %Title.
- Should be accurate, and more importantly smart. I want to start tagging at night, and hopefully my collection should be done by the morning, w/o it being stuck at a user prompt at 1%.
If one app cant do all, I am willing to use 3, wouldn't mind exposure to a few more apps ;)
I have used picard or someting, and I didnt like it quite a lot. But wouldn't mind using it, if there is no other alternative.
Thanks for your time!
In Nautilus, I would like to add columns displaying metadatas contained in files.
This is mostly useful with audio and pictures files:
- Audio : Artist, album, Track Title, Year ...(ID3 Tags)
- Photos : Date taken, Image resolution,
Columns would be editable in the standard 'View - Visible Columns' option in Nautilus
