Description:

If you want to easily tag multiple MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, Opus, DSF, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Opus, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack and WMA files (e.g. full albums) without typing the same information again and again and have control over both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, then Kid3 is the program you are looking for.

With Kid3 you can:
- Edit ID3v1.1 tags
- Edit all ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 frames
- Convert between ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags
- Edit tags in MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA, AIFF and WAV files
- Edit tags of multiple files, e.g. the artist, album, year and genre of all files of an album typically have the same values and can be set together.
- Generate tags from filenames
- Generate tags from the contents of tag fields
- Generate filenames from tags
- Rename and create directories from tags
- Generate playlist files
- Automatically convert upper and lower case and replace strings
- Import from freedb2.org, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Amazon and other sources of album data
- Export tags as CSV, HTML, playlists, Kover XML and in other formats
- Edit synchronized lyrics and event timing codes, import and export LRC files

 export cover: default is always folder.jpg

I've found a little bug in an otherwise really great tool: The suggested default filename in kid3 when exporting a cover is always folder.jpg, even when the cover in the mp3 is image/png.

As 'export' does no convertion png->jpg one has to 'fix' extention of the suggested filename to
be folder.png.

Would be nice if the default filename: folder.(jpg|png) would be determined by the mimetype.

Thx a lot for a great tool!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will consider it, however, probably only for Qt5 because QMimeType does not exist for Qt4. The problem with Qt5 is that no file name at all is set in the standard GTK dialog, only with the Qt file dialog. I could not check if it works with the KDE dialog because I do not have KDE 5 installed at the moment and KDE 4 file dialogs do not seem to be supported in Qt5. With Qt 5.4 beta, it seems to be fixed, so I could test it.

Thx, a lot! Looks like I've to setup a Framework 5 build environment ...

Have you an estimate when a kid3 for Framework5 will be released?

About qt/4KDE4: At least the for KDE4 variant of kid3:
The dialog that pops up when one double click the cover contains already the mimetype (my guess: taglib returns this info?). So maybe one can use these info to feed the right name into the dialog opened by 'export...' button for KDE4?

On the other hand a kde/qt4 fix is maybe not worth the extra work with plasma5/framework almost ready for endusers.

Thx a lot again.

Kid3 actually does not have a lot of KDE specific code, just the main window, the configuration dialog and some other dialogs. Most of the code is shared between the KDE and Qt-only versions. Qt5 is supported for quite some time, so I do not expect that it will be a lot of work. However, I will probably wait until some of the core applications have been ported, so that I can be confident that the API and the build system are more or less stable. And I would like to have a KDE 5 installation running on my PC, preferably from the official repositories, so I can test the KDE 5 port.

I am not sure if KDE 5 will run decently on my PC. I suppose that it relies heavily on QML, and I am dealing with QML for some time now because I am making functions of Kid3 accessible via QML. The sad thing is that QtQuick2 (i.e. the QtQuick from Qt5) is running incredibly slow on my PC (HP Compaq DC7800), probably because the QtQuick2 scene graph uses OpenGL functions which are not well supported by the Intel GMA 3100 graphics driver. I have to set LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 to use software rendering instead of the sluggish GPU. On my laptop (HP Compaq N610C), which has an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, QtQuick2 does not work at all, it just crashes. On Qt4, QtQuick works well (using the raster engine), and debugging is much better because the QML/JS Console works, which is not the case in Qt5 (QTBUG-37119). What makes things worse is that using the same QML codebase for Qt4 and Qt5 has been made impossible because Qt5 refuses to import QtQuick 1.0 although most code would run without problem. This not comprehensible design decision to force users to use QtQuick2 "and never look back" together with the lack of something like a preprocessor forces me to use a script (https://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/2013/09/20/qml-preprocessor-the-qnd-and-kiss-way/) to modify the code whenever I switch between QtQuick1 and QtQuick2.

So my question is whether KDE 5 will be usable with PCs which do not have the latest generation of GPUs. Qt and KDE may focus on mobile and touch based devices (which have good GPUs) but most users will still run KDE on a PC, and not all users buy a new PC every year. As you can see, my enthusiasm about Qt5 is not unlimited. Another source of frustration is the poor support for the Windows/MinGW version. As long as the footprint is so huge (QTBUG-29828) and every application can be crashed using command line arguments (QTBUG-30330) I will use Qt4 for the Windows version.

I have ported Kid3 to KDE 5 and committed it to Git. Just pass "-DWITH_QT5=ON" when calling cmake. It you want to create a Debian package for KDE 5, modify the files in the deb/ folder according to the comments (just grep for "KDE 5"), then start the build-deb.sh script.

I have added packages to my PPA for Ubuntu 15.04 which use Qt 5 and KDE 5, see https://launchpad.net/~ufleisch/+archive/ubuntu/kid3/+packages.

Thx for kid3 and inode/directory in desktop file, that will be part of next release.

So before I forget it, let's document it here:
You mentioned an old problem of a user with kid3 used as default app for directories (instead of dolphin). In case this pops up again one can check https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220806 for a IMHO hackish fix with a second desktop file. (But hopefully with D.Faure help this will soon list the proper fix ;-) ).
