Altough I agree cantus interface is clearer, easytag is amazing
powerful: you can fill id3tags using regex on filenames, rename files
from tags, process fields, cddb look-up.
After working on few files, you'll soon get the hang on it, I've
renamed/retagged 10GB of files with easytag, it just needs some HIG
love :)
