The program exists for the both versions of the GTK library 1.2 and 2.4.

Ability to rename files from the tag (using masks) or by loading a text file,
Process selected files of the selected directory,
Ability to browse subdirectories,
Recursion for tagging, removing, renaming, saving...,
Can set a field (artist, title,...) to all other files,
