fftag-2.2 gtkdialog app to add and edit meta tags on media files

Post by plinej »

As of version 1.0, fftag's features include:

edit metadata for audio and video
add chapter names to video
extract audio from video files
create cue files when tagging a directory of audio files
split single audio file with a selected cue file
rip a CD and encode to (flac, mp3, m4a, or ogg)

To rip a CD your version of ffmpeg needs to be compiled with libcdio (fftag will check).You need to have an audiocd in one of your optical drives. If cdparanoia is installed you can select to use that instead. fftag will attempt to find the CD information for tagging purposes otherwise you can use discogs or musicbrainz release numbers to get information.

All functions can be accomplished with just ffmpeg but these other programs will be utilized if installed:

1) cdparanoia (optional for CD ripping)
2) metaflac (necessary to add cover image to flac files since ffmpeg doesn't seem to work adding images to flac like it does with other file types - if not installed the files will still get tagged but the cover image will not appear in the file)
3) mp4art or AtomicParsley (necessary to add cover images to m4a files)

0.2 - added a pixmap image of the cover art (if available) as well as an image of the waveform.

0.2a - just some behind the scenes tweaks to the code

0.3 - added a file selector that lists other files of same type in current directory to tag

0.3a - added a file selector below the tree list in case you want to tag a file in another directory or a different file type as well as some other minor tweaks.

0.4 - changed the file selector and added the ability for the user to change the geometry of the main gui

0.4a - added the ability for the user to change the size of the attached image display and the waveform. Also modified the code to copy tags to the next file of the same type in current directory.

0.5 - added the ability to get info from discogs or musicbrainz to tag your files.

0.6 - added an option for a full directory of the same file type can be tagged from a single gui. You can also tag a full directory of files from a cue or txt file. There is a rename tagged files option and the ability to save images of the wave form and spectrogram of selected files.

0.6a - minor tweaks

0.8 - Added alot of functions for video files. You can add or remove chapters in a video file. You can also extract audio from video files.

0.8a - bugfix release

0.9 - CD ripping and splitting of an audio file with a cue file functions added

0.9a - bugfix

1.0 - bugfixes, code cleanup, added some command line features...

1.1 - more bugfixes and code cleanup

1.2 - added option to down convert to CD quality if working with audio files with greater than 16 bit resolution or sample rate greater than 44.1KHz.

1.3 - internationalized & a bugfix.

1.3b - French translations added

1.4 - changed the extract audio option to a button and improved some of the code in that section

1.5 - updated the code in the tagging of video chapters section

1.6 - improved the cd ripping code and gui. I removed cddb_query dependency to find CD information in favor of writing my own scripts using cdda2wav or icedax to get the musicbrainz identifier for the CD and then parsing the musicbrainz website for information.

1.7 - added support to add cover art with mp4art & AtomicParsley to m4a files as well as an extra warning gui and some bugfixes.

1.8 - fixed some bugs and added the ability to type in your Genre selection or selecting from the drop down combobox

2.0 - added support for id3ted, id3v2, apetag, metaflac, mp4tags, AtomicParsley, wvtag, & vorbiscomment taggers. Added ability to modify and add lyrics as well as extra tags not included in the gui.

2.0.7 - Added support to get screen size using wlr-randr when running wayland in case xrandr isn't installed.

2.1 - fixed some things that seemed to be broken, sped up some processes, improved the cd ripping process

2.2 - minor fixes

Thanks for that, have updated fftag in the easyOS PET noarch repo to 2.1

Note, I edited pet.specs file to have a bit more information:

fftag-2.1-1|fftag|2.1-1||Multimedia;sound|332K||fftag-2.1-1.pet|+ffmpeg,+gtkdialog|audio and video file meta tagger||||

Although, it does handle video files as well, so "Multimedia;audiovideo" would have been a better choice
(menu categories can be seen in first two columns of /etc/xdg/menus/hierarchy)
