ID3 Tag Editing

(from askubuntu)

I've found Puddletag to be a great tag editor. It does multiple files and allows images to be embedded. It came in really handy for me when I was debugging code that writes MP3 and MP4 tags, but it works with lots of types of tags.

You should be able to get it from the repository via

sudo apt-get install puddletag

If not, there's always the PPA

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/puddletag
sudo apt-get update
sudp apt-get install puddletag

OTOH...  EasyTAG seems better in a number of ways.  (Tho not necesarily easier to use for large batches...)
