Music Manager
Music Manager is a Konqueror plugin that lets you standardize the filenames of your music files, guess information and set ID3 tags from the file's name (this can be done to several files in one shot), rename many selected files based on their ID3 tags, set ID3 tags in mass for selected files with options for copying ID3s from other files and leaving some ID3 fields untouched, rename _ to space and vice versa, create HTML and text indexes of your collections (including total playing time, etc., configurable through templates), create nice CD covers with full listings of your music files (also configurable through templates), and organize your music collection to create a CD.

This is a work in progress. A dialog will be available in
Control-Center. In the mean time the configuration
infrastructure is already there. The format of the
~/.kde/share/config/musicman file is:
uppercaseFirst=true
preferUnderline=true
extensionType=0
digitsForTrack=2
extensionType=extPlain
To do lowercase, change the uppercaseFirst to false.
Regarding the plugin comment, Konqueror plugins are
automatic. So the 'Music Manager' option in the menu will
appear when you selected MP3s or OGGs. The plugins
dialog you are refering are for browser plugins, like Flash
player, etc.
A good start
...but it should have more options and be configurable. I want to set a default filename-option of: all-lowercase, spaces-replaced-by-underscore. I can't even GET it to do all-lowercase at all.
Anyway I think it would be really nice if you could set a config file with the attributes you usually prefer and then have that as an option on the menu.
Also: It doesn't show up in the default plugin locations so Konqueror can't see it...and I don't really know where to direct it....
