  What we _really_ need is a GNOME version of the windows/osx
musicbrainz tagger:
	http://www.musicbrainz.org/tagger/index.html

  I've seen it working in Windows. This thing is amazing because it
discovers the tags automatically through audio fingerprinting.  It can
make a few mistakes, and when it is not sure it just asks the user to
select among a few alternatives.  Now, this is what I call a mass
tagger.  Cantus (or the others discussed) doesn't yet fulfill the full
potential of a tagger application.

  There's a Qt based program like that, already:
