Cantus
Cantus is an easy to use tool for tagging and renaming MP3 and OGG/Vorbis files. It has many features including mass tagging and renaming of MP3s, the ability to generate a tag out of the filename, filter definitions for renaming, recursive actions, CDDB (Freedb) lookup (no CD needed), copy between ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags, and a lot more.

It opens the window but it never fills in the details and finishes the startup. (slack9.1)
So I REALLY appreciate the uninstall-file you included! :)
Cantus back to life
I've just prepared the first snapshot of Cantus 2, so Cantus *is* no longer dead.

For the 1.05 release only bugfixes are planned.
This project has been taken over by Josh Hoyt.
Josh has already put a lot of effort in the project, but at the moment we are moving forward quite slow. Also, the CVS version is broken at the moment.
However, there will be development in the future and the next release will probably come with major changes so this project is no longer dead.

I see that a new release came out today, with debian maintainer info added to the AUTHORS file, will there be active development, just bugfixes, or none of the above?
Re: Great idea!
No problem..I figured out what it is, it happens when the only change is from capital to small letters, and there's no other change to be made. It seems those are strictly cosmetic and so it doesn't see them as different things. So I leave them and it's fine. :)
Thanks for a great tool!!
