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. If cddb_query is installed, 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) cddb_query (optional for CD ripping)
2) cdparanoia (optional for CD ripping)
3) 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)
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

Open specified file for meta tag editing
-D /path/to/media-file
Open entire directory of the same type of file as the specified file
-o (discogs or musicbrainz release number)
Use discogs or musicbrainz information for the meta information in the gui
-C /path/to/cue-or-txt-file
Uses cue or text file for meta information in the gui
-s
Use with -C and -i option to split input file with cue file
