Downloads

Installing from source

Install the dependencies as outlined on the home page. For Debian-based distros, you can run the following as root:

aptitude install python-qt4 python-pyparsing python-mutagen python-configobj python-musicbrainz2
  • Now download the source tarball puddletag-1.0.0beta6.tar.gz (SHA1 0b0b0046c8671c3036922c3a7256a2acc383663b).
  • Unzip it.
  • You can run puddletag from that directory by typing ./puddletag from the unzipped directory in your console.
  • Alternatively install it by running python setup.py install as root in the unzipped directory.
  • puddletag should appear in your Multimedia (or Sounds etc.) menu. If not run desktop-file-install puddletag.desktop as root in the unzipped directory.

Installing from the Debian package

This Debian package has been created on and for Ubuntu 10.04, but it should work on any Debian-based distro with the requisite dependencies. Make some noise on the forum if it doesn’t work for you.

Downloading the deb, puddletag_1.0.0beta6-1_all.deb (SHA1 7471e75e27e4923f4f982c5ed65ab582c44a703e) and double clicking it to open your package manager should suffice to install it.

Otherwise, first install the dependencies by running as root:

aptitude install python-qt4 python-pyparsing python-mutagen python-configobj python-musicbrainz2

Then (also as root)

dpkg -i /path/to/downloaded.deb

puddletag should be available from your Multimedia menu.

Installing on Fedora 14 and later

Just run (as root):

yum install puddletag

Sometimes the latest version is still in the testing repo. Then you should use (also as root:)

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install

Development builds

Download links:

Source control is done using Mercurial. Use

hg clone http://puddletag.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/puddletag/puddletag puddletag

to check it out. And

hg pull -u

in the previously cloned directory to update.

Plugins

I’ve created two plugins that might be useful. To install, unzip the downloaded file into ~/.puddletag/plugins. Then enable it in Edit->Preferences->Plugins.

Both require at least puddletag 0.10.1

Extended Tags

All does is add the Extended Tags dialog as a dockable window. Uses Ctrl+Shift+S (Tools->Save Extended) to save.

I created this with the intention of replacing the Tag Panel, but I found it way too click-heavy.

  • extended-1.2.tar.gz (SHA1 340494d0d01efde6fd416a3cb6d464440bec61fc) for puddletag 0.10.4 and later.
  • extended-1.1.tar.gz (SHA1 8694232652f538b7b9c02ed0a2c9cb8ee0a599df) for puddletag 0.10.3 and earlier.

ID3 Tools

Adds options to convert an ID3 tag to UTF-8 and to ID3v2.4 to the Plugins menu. Only works for files that have ID3 as their default tag (= mp3 files).

Download id3_tools.tar.gz (SHA1 bb01bbf0be54e1850fb4505c1d530240cab85c70).

Translations

To install, place the downloaded translation in ~/.puddletag/translations (you’ll probably need to create it). The translation will be listed in the Preferences dialog. If you’d like contribute a translation, see Translating.
