NAME

       puddletag - puddletag

SYNOPSIS

       puddletag [options] [file/directory paths...]

DESCRIPTION

       puddletag  is an audio tag editor (primarily created) for GNU/Linux similar to the Windows
       program, Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers for GNU/Linux, it uses a spreadsheet-like  layout  so
       that all the tags you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.

       The  usual  tag  editor  features  are  supported  like  extracting  tag  information from
       filenames, renaming files based on their tags by using patterns and basic tag editing.

       Then there're Functions, which  can  do  things  like  replace  text,  trim  it,  do  case
       conversions,  etc.  Actions  can  automate repetitive tasks. You can import your QuodLibet
       library, lookup tags using Amazon (including cover art), Discogs (does  cover  art  too!),
       FreeDB and MusicBrainz. There's quite a bit more, but I've reached my comma quota.

       Supported  formats:  ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.), VorbisComments (ogg, flac),
       Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and WavPack (wv).

OPTIONS

       file/directory paths...
              Paths to any files or directories which'll be loaded on startup.

       -h, --help
              Show help message and exit.

       --langfile=LANGFILE
              Path to a translation (.qm) file. If valid,  this  file'll  be  used  to  translate
              puddletag. Otherwise the last translation chosen will be used.

       --fontsize=FONTSIZE
              Default font size to use (in points). All UI elements except the file-view will use
              this font size.

       -d, --debug
              Show (useless) debug messages. Do not use.

INTEGRATION WITH CMUS

       To launch puddletag from cmus, loading all the marked files,  set  up  a  keybinding  like
       this:

              bind common ^T run puddletag {}

       in a configuration file such as ~/.config/cmus/rc
