Hi.
puddletag IMO used to be the best audio tagging software under Linux.
I found it equally good as mp3tag under Windows.
Since a couple of years it's no longer maintained though. Unfortunately this happens all the time with very promising projects in Linux land.
The application ran stable for years. That was the case until beginning of this year.
The issue.
Starting 2020 Python 2.x will no longer be maintained. And. puddletag is based on Python 2.x.
A port to Python 3.x was needed. The designer was no longer in the boat. A community
effort was required.
The great news. A port project is full at swing.
I've been testing the git version under Fedora and Wayland. Most of the functions work fine by now.
The big issue I see is a public release of the new fork.
A lot of work for an application goes into the coding. However. Huge efforts also go into (online-) documentation, distribution, maintenance, communications.
I'm not sure yet how this is going to progress. Perhaps it'll remain one of thousands
github-only projects.
Keep the fingers crossed that the team manages to go public at one point in time.
For the hackers and advanced users out there it'll be possible to install the fork manually from git sources of course.
Enjoy.
