KID3 TAG EDITOR UPDATE

Launch Terminal and enter the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ufleisch/kid3 sudo apt-get update Creating playlist Installing Kid3 On Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and derivatives Specify the properties, and click on ‘ Ok‘. Just import the songs that you need to add, and perform any necessary actions, and after that, click on the button on top that looks like three horizontal lines and stands for ‘ Create Playlist‘. Creating PlaylistsĬreating playlists is also made easier by Kid3. Just click on ‘ From Tag 2‘ in this case, and all fields of ID3v2 that are filled will also be set to fields of ID3v1. The boxes of tags have an option of importing information from other tags (shown in the picture below). This does not actually convert tags, but copies the information of the fields to the other tag. If the filenames are in a specific order, say “Artist – Song Name”, you can set the ‘ Format ’ to “ %“, and Kid3 will set the artist and song names accordingly. Like the names of the files can be changed using the existing tags, tags can be set using the filenames. Users get the freedom to choose whether they want to copy the data from the Tag1 or Tag2 (ID3v1 or ID3v2). Users can select or create a format in the ‘ Format ’ field to rename multiple files in a specific format. If you want to add a common field, say album name, you have to select the files and type the album name in the space provided. Just select the files, and it will show a not-equal-to sign wherever the values are different for different files. Tagging Multiple FilesĮditing multiple files that are selected is made very easy in Kid3. Users can just add any required unique data in the ‘ Comments‘ field. It will probably not be required, as ID3v2 covers whatever you may need. You can also add custom fields to the ID3 tags, but it might sometimes mess with some systems or media players. It is possible to use common fields that are already provided by Kid3, or even add custom ones. To do that, you can click and configure the ‘ + Tag 3‘ box.

This makes management of those audio files much more straightforward, which do not have any metadata previously. Optionally, users can even add other fields. There are options to delete existing fields in both ID3v1 and ID3v2 boxes. Kid3 InterfaceĪs seen in the image, the audio files that are selected are colored red, which makes it easier for users to sort the files. Users can edit the fields directly from there. The song’s name, technical properties, and both tagging systems are displayed when a song is selected. The jargon may look intimidating initially, but one starts to look around, all of those makes sense. The interface of Kid3 may look overwhelming with a lot of stuff.
