12 puddletag is an audio tag editor (primarily created) for GNU/Linux sim‐
13 ilar to the Windows program, Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers for GNU/Linux,
14 it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you want to edit
15 by hand are visible and easily editable.
16
17 The usual tag editor features are supported like extracting tag infor‐
18 mation from filenames, renaming files based on their tags by using pat‐
19 terns and basic tag editing.
20
21 Then there're Functions, which can do things like replace text, trim
22 it, do case conversions, etc. Actions can automate repetitive tasks.
23 You can import your QuodLibet library, lookup tags using Amazon (in‐
24 cluding cover art), Discogs (does cover art too!), FreeDB and Mu‐
25 sicBrainz. There's quite a bit more, but I've reached my comma quota.
26
27 Supported formats: ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.), VorbisCom‐
28 ments (ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and WavPack
29 (wv).

37
38 --langfile=LANGFILE
39 Path to a translation (.qm) file. If valid, this file'll be used
40 to translate puddletag. Otherwise the last translation chosen
41 will be used.
42
43 --fontsize=FONTSIZE
44 Default font size to use (in points). All UI elements except the
45 file-view will use this font size.
46
47 -d, --debug
48 Show (useless) debug messages. Do not use.

55
56 in a configuration file such as ~/.config/cmus/rc

60 more info. It is also the best place to get help.
