Quod Libet
Quod Libet is a music
management program. It provides several different ways to view your
audio library, as well as support for Internet radio and audio feeds.
It has extremely flexible metadata tag editing and searching
capabilities. It's designed around the
idea that you know how to organize your music better than the
developers do.
Quod Libet lets you make playlists based on regular
expressions and
regular searches. The software also lets you display and edit
any tags you want in the file. And it lets you do this for all the file
formats it supports -- Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, Musepack, and MOD.
Quod Libet is an
GTK+-based application written in Python.
