David King has announced earlier today, March 10, the immediate availability for download and testing of EasyTAG 2.3.5, everyone’s favorite open-source tag editor application for MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files under GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows computer operating systems.

EasyTAG 2.3.5 is an unstable update of the acclaimed software, bringing a number of bug fixes, as well as several improvements. It attempts to fix truncated CDDB (Compact Disc Database) results and changing of the artwork description, but it also repairs the changing of tag fields that contained some strange characters.

Additionally, EasyTAG 2.3.5 adds various unit tests, can be compiled against the patched version of the id3lib library from Debian, addresses several Coverity warnings, repairs string format sign warnings with the GCC 5.0 compiler, can now be compiled if support for FLAC is disabled, and handles empty descriptions in ID3 tag artwork.

Some issues with FLAC and MP3 files have been fixed

Moreover, a runtime warning in the file browser is now avoided, as well as two crashes, one that occurred when reading invalid MP3 files, and another one when reading FLAC files that don’t have tags. The internal file list code got some attention in EasyTAG 2.3.5, and the compiler warning flag checking functionality has been improved.

Last but not least, the Czech, Polish, Turkish, and Norwegian bokmal translations received updates in this release. You can download the EasyTAG 2.3.5 sources right now via Softpedia, but please keep in mind that it is an unstable software and it shouldn't be used on production machines.

While the source package can be used to compile the application on 64 and 32-bit GNU/Linux distributions, you can also download EasyTAG 2.3.5 for Microsoft Windows operating systems from Softpedia.
