Description: Media Tag Tools is as the name suggests a collection of tools to help you tag your audio files, rename them using the data present in their tags and/or categorise the files in folders automatically.
New: Debian package kindly provided by Gregory Potamianos New: Slackware package thanks to Thomas Merkel New: Mandriva package thanks to Mladen Pejaković New: Gentoo ebuild update thanks to TemetLast changelog:
--- 0.3.2 --- 6 Mar 2007 * Fix selection of files after renaming them * Fix segfault when opening a file with no tags * Mtt can now take a dir as argument and add the media files for editing * Add an application icon * Add a .desktop file so that mtt appears in your menus automatically
--- 0.3.1 --- 29 Jan 2007 * Make /bin/sh the default shell for the scripts * Files are no longer left open while working with tags ( no more lost tags because of too many opened files ) * Genre list is now sorted
--- 0.3 --- 17 Dec 2006 * Fixed [ Bug #8306 ] Does not open files with UPPERCASE extension (e.g. file.MP3) * Fixed [ Bug #8764 ] closing & reopening the Format options dialog mangles order, thanks to mikeX and his patch :-) * Fixed [ Bug #8756 ] Pasting in a field does not update it * Fixed [ Bug #9040 ] ID3v1 tag purge behaviour * Fixed [ Bug #9440 ] 'Rename file(s)' operation does not work the second time * Fixed removed ID3v1 tags reappearing magically * Fixed a bug that while no change was done during rename because of an error, no warning message was displayed * Fixed a bug with the "Correct case" functions * Fix bug: Creating tags from filename should update the view below the list * Added genre list * Updates and fixes to the list view. It should work faster now and way better for single files. * We can handle files with no tags at all without creating a new tag unless necessary. * Added profiling option for debug sessions * More bug fixes! This time "Add Folder" and normal tag editing should work as expected * Added new build system using a configure script generated by qconf * Changing the case of multiple tags is now feasible using the right click menu * The "Correct case" button was removed from the interface as it would only confuse people with its new function * Move Up/Down & Remove All buttons are now usable * Removed a couple of options from CFormat Dialog (not really useful)
--- 0.2 --- 6 Jul 2006 * Keep changes in memory and save tags later * Seperate automatic tag generation and tag saving * Fix to [ Bug #7247 ] "Entered tag information is not reset after the tag is saved" * Fixed a bug that made some times tags lose their genre type after being selected * Add i18n to the project * Fill ID3v2 tag fields from ID3v1 data if empty * Add File(s) was implemented * Menus are now populated with all the options that are available as buttons or via the right click menu
--- 0.1.1 --- 10 Mar 2006 * Some GUI cleanup * Add a warning when "Rename Files" tries to overwrite a file
-- 0.1 --- 19 Feb 2006 * Some bug fixes and cosmetic changes * Added a confirmation dialog for removing tags from files
--- 0.1beta3 --- 28 Dec 2005 * Text fields' encoding should now be always set correctly to UTF8 * The lib requirements are now mentioned in the INSTALL file * Fixed ogg and flac support (needs testing) * A couple of cosmetic fixes
--- 0.1beta2 --- 30 Oct 2005 * Added a menu on right click on the list view * You can now use "Leading Zeros" feature when renaming files * Progressbar now appears only when needed * Bug fixes...
--- 0.1beta --- * The GUI changed a lot from the original mtt design * Some scripts were created to make package/tag packages easier * Most features work for mp3 files
It turns out that the Mandriva rpm works fine on Fedora - after about 5 minutes of testing.
I do have QT3 installed after all, but having two versions installed makes compiling problematic.
Dude, the answer is in the error :
"g++: -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible"
And you have both in the previous line.
Don't know what distro you are running but if you can, disable the "pg" option (or maybe more simple, remove it from the makefile).
After running running configure, open src/Makefile and remove -pg from CXXFLAGS. Hope that helps! :-) I should take care of the for other people that use -fomit-pointers
Here is a Gentoo ebuild (I just updated a previous one, I've done nothing) : http://goondy.free.fr/gentoo/ebuilds/mediatagtools-0.3.2.ebuild
Here is an alternative ebuild.
This one contains a patch to enhance case functions : add a new choice (first letter of first word uppercase only) and now, only the fields that are checked at bottom left will be affected by case changes.
I've emailed the developper one week ago but as I did get any response, I post here:

I downloaded the debian package, and it installed fine, and ran fine. But when I open files to edit, the only tag fields I can edit are under the "Generic tag" tab; there are no "Lyrics" or "Picture" tabs as shown in the screenshot. I chose this tool over others just for the album art functionality, and because I'm familiar with the original Windows MP3 Tag Tools. As there's no documentation, I don't know what to think. Am I missing something to enable full functionality? Thanks!
The screenshot is really old. It shows one of the very early versions of mtt that still had the lyrics and picture tabs but they were disabled (that's why they appear greyed out). That functionality is still missing from mtt. I'll make sure to update the screenshot to a more recent one.
Thanks for reporting that. Unfortunately I cannot provide myself suse rpms so I'll have to remove the link until someone provides an appropriate rpm of mtt 0.3.1.
The link may be broken, but there are RPM packages fro V3.2 on the KDE-community repository. Also V3.1 on Guru.
I just downloaded the program and it looks great by the way. Thanks for the work.
I know this is a big ask, but any chance of expanding to video tags some time in the future?
Thanks for the info!
As for the request I'll think about it but don't expect something soon. It is a nice idea to include support for video file tags but it will have to wait for some time.
Hello.
I have two bugs (v.0.2, source):
1. If just after start you use "add files" to add few files at once, then the tag fields in the window bellow are not updated when you travel between files.
2. In format options "Move Up", etc are always greyed, so I can not use them.
And two wishes:
1. It would be better if you can delete files from the list.
2. Also autonumbering would be nice for track numbers.
Please try to report bugs in the bugzilla of berlios: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=5029
Both bugs are now fixed in 0.3. The two feature requests are noted and I'll see what I can do for the next release. Thank for your comments! :-)

Fedora only has QT4 installed and I cannot build this. The ./configure output says: Quote:Verifying Qt 3.x Multithreaded (MT) build environment ... fail
Unable to find Qt 'mkspecs'.
qt3 is not in the Fedora repos. I have qt4-devel and qt-devel installed.
Any suggestions?

sigh... what a disappointment. it does exactly what i need it to, for the wrong format.
That's exactly what I was looking for. I will help me be faster than editing tags with Konqueror & Amarok ;) Keep up the good work.
Having a spot of build bother. Perhaps you can tell me what I'm missing, or where I've gone wrong? Thanks! PS I do have all the qt/kde devel packages I could think of installed.

Thanks Lass, I'll give it a go.
there was no trace of what you described in any file. Oh and its Dudette!

@BorgQueen : sorry Kate ;) @parapente : strange, I use fomit-pointer in my Gentoo conf o_O'

Try running 'mediatagtools' in a terminal.
I had been using MP3 Tag Tools for a few days and really liked it. Now I have something similar in Linux. Good job.
