YAMT is Yet Antother MP3 Tool which helps you to organize your mp3s. It's a GNOME program and allows you to edit the ID3 TAG of one mp3 file, change the tag of many files at once (mass tagging), set tags based on filenames, rename them based on their TAG, sort your music into subdirectories, unsort files from subdirs, create playlists and search for mp3s with a special tag. It is Open Source and still under development, feel free to contribute to it!
I suppose nowadays nearly everybody knows what mp3s are and
if you downloaded this program without knowing it, you want to
organize something and don't know what it is ? ;-)
But shortly:
MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) Layer 3 is an audio format which
is, especially in the internet, quite common because it reduces
a file to about 10% of it's original size.
For more information visit the page of the mp3 inventor,
the Fraunhofer Institute at
http://www.iis.fhg.de/amm/techinf/layer3/index.html.
A ID3 TAG is a method of storing additional information to an mp3 file. In fact there are just 128 Bytes appended to the file and the beginning is marked with the word "TAG". It has space for a description of the Title, the Artist, the Album, a Comment (each with 30 characters), the Year (4 characters) and the Genre (one of 126).
Currently YAMT supports only this quite limited ID3v1 TAGs, but since ID3v2 seems to be really cool it will hopefully be implemented later.
In the Version 0.4 YAMT has got the following features:
Most of this features can also be used recursive.
