I just switched to Rythmbox from XMMS because i wanted a nicer itunes-ish interface than what the winap-ish xmms provides. However, unlike itunes (maybe this is why it is so much faster?) Rhythmbox doesn't allow you to edit the id3 tags within the interface. I found this Python ID3 tag module: <A HREF="http://id3-py.sourceforge.net/">http://id3-py.sourceforge.net/</A> so I guess I could script it myself if I wanted to, but I wanted to know if there's an effective utility which already provides this functionality. </BLOCKQUOTE> I use EasyTag under the principle that it was the first utility I stumbled over that was Good Enough. There may be better, but I stop searches when I find something that is Good Enough. Mostly I picked it because it had some pretty good tag-from-filename capabilities and mass renaming capabilities. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Michael T.
