Great music tagging apps

[hvbias]

Please recommend any music tagging apps you like. I'll post mine:

dbpoweramp- not technically a tagging app, but so far this is the only one I have found that has a wide access to the tagging databases- Discogs, GD3, Freedb and Music Brainz. Since it can access all four it's often just easier for me to re-rip a CD and get tags from those databases than edit them in one of the below programs.

MP3Tag- has access to FreeDB. Using this interface I am a bit faster at fixing tags compared to foobar2000.

Foobar2000- has access to FreeDB. I have not tried additional plugins.

PerfectTunes- I don't think this is worth the money. It serves the same function as MP3Tag and it doesn't have access to any of the databases, it is a manual tagger only. I've tried to suggest that this needs access to tagging databases like dbpoweramp, but the author doesn't think it needs it. I've also noticed a bug when writing tags to DSD Wavpack, this is not present in MP3Tag. Where I do like it over MP3Tag is I find the interface is a bit faster to edit tags with just keyboard.

I'm quite fond of Mediamonkey. It has access to Discogs, Freedb and Musicbrainz, through plugins, there are plugins for semi-automated tag clean-up, e.g. leading or trailing spaces, proper capitalization, detection of different ways of writing the same artist name (& or And, Beatles vs The Beatles, ...).
It's a nice player as well, happily plugging into my MusicIP database for AutoDJ-ing

I Use MP3Tag, but pretty much only for classical music, which every database gets wrong. For ripping, I use EAC and that accesses one or more databases, which rarely need any editing except for classical.

Musichi (https://musichi.eu/) is truly great for Classical and OK for Jazz. It can look up tags and cover art on GD3 (Get Digital Data TM), FreeDB and Amazon. I tag with Musichi tagger and listen with Musichi Player for headphone playback at my desk. At home, my collection is on a NAS. Network playback is via Daphile (a squeeze player) that reads the tags. Musichi also has a ripper which I have not tried. I rely on dBPoweramp.
