EasyTAG is a graphical application for viewing and editing audio file metadata (tags). It supports MP3, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP4/AAC, and other common audio formats.
The application provides batch tagging, filename to tag conversion, tag to filename renaming, and CDDB lookup for automatic metadata retrieval. It's useful for organizing music libraries and fixing incorrect or missing tags.

GUI application; no command-line tag editing. Some tag formats may have limited support. Large collections may take time to scan. Character encoding issues possible with older tags.

EasyTAG was started by Jérôme Couderc in 2000 and has been maintained by the GNOME community. It evolved from earlier command-line tag editors to provide a user-friendly graphical interface for music metadata management.
