Ear Tag for Linux

Edit audio file tags

Overview

Ear Tag is an audio tag editor made for Linux users.

It helps you change the information (tags) on your music files.

You can use it to edit tags for many common audio file types like MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, and WMA.

This makes it easy to fix or update your audio files’ details without much hassle.

One useful feature of Ear Tag is that you can edit tags for several files at once.

This bulk-editing option saves time when working with whole albums or collections.

You don’t need to create a music library folder to use the program, which makes it less complicated than some other taggers.

Ear Tag lets you rename files using the tag information already stored in your tracks.

It also supports file identification using AcoustID, which helps improve the accuracy of your metadata.

However, this identification feature needs an internet connection.

If you are concerned about privacy, keep in mind that network access occurs only when you use the “Identify selected files” function.

While Ear Tag covers basic tagging and renaming tasks well, it does not include advanced editing features.

This software is a good fit for users who want a straightforward and secure tool to organize and correct audio tags on Linux without extra setup steps.

Keywords for this tool include music, audio, tag, tagging, and tagger.

It fits in the Audio, AudioVideo, and AudioVideoEditing categories.
