Re: [Muine] [PATCH] incomplete albums

[Yo'av Moshe <bjesus gmail com>]

So, since I'm no shell coder either (damn it I'm just no good, gotta
learn *something*), I went ahead and checked EasyTag, which I use
regularly on my music library.

Apparently EasyTag works great for us - If you have EasyTag to check
sub-directories, you can just point it to your 'albums' directory,
have it scan all of your songs, select all of them, and, here's the
magic -> click the button that is left to the total-tracks input field
and have it all tagged correctly! Yup, even though you have them all
selected it will tag it by the number of files in the directory. Just
save and that's it.

Yo'av.
