I can't believe it's almost four years since I first announced puddletag on the forum. Hopefully it's been able to serve your tagging needs as well as it's served mine. One thing I've still wanted is the ability to normalise my tags across my entire collection - this need was greatly amplified when LMS switched to being case sensitive resulting in Lindsey Buckingham and LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM suddenly becoming two different artists. If you've a library of ~50-100k tracks and don't have embedded album art then it's probably feasible to load your entire library into a tagger, sort by artist and normalise from there (puddletag's only limitations are the speed of your computer and the amount of available RAM - it loads everything into RAM). However, my library is a little larger than that and loading all tracks into any tagger is just not feasible.
To that end I'm in the process of testing a python script that leverages the puddletag codebase to read tags from your audio files into a SQLite database to allow you to manipulate the database contents and then write the database contents back to the underlying files. If there's interest I'll post a link once we're confident it's operating as intended.
