'doesn't have GUI as simple as Muine' is an understatement- youch.

There used to be something much simpler, but I can't find it now. I
may have been thinking of Cowbell, though Cowbell development seems to
have stopped.

(It would be awesome if Cowbell hooked into my Muine album DB so that
I didn't have to pick files off the hard drive, if there happen to be
any Cowbell developers here ;)

In part my problem is caused by musicbrainz's inconsistent tagging in
the first place, unfortunately. (I just ripped a six-disc beethoven
symphony set, which had four or five different title/artist
descriptions. Only the last two were consistent with each other, I
think.)

Thanks! I'm an Ubuntu user at the moment though.
