Music Manager Software other than Clementine/Strawberry

I'm currently looking for the Linux equivalent of Tag&Rename that can run locally, but can "see" and edit files shared on SMB shares on my LE box

I've used EasyTag for years. It is a bit quirky but it does a lot of things. Once you learn it will become indispensable.

Search the stable repo for "tag" and you'll find several mp3 id3 tag editors. If you can access your music files in Thunar you should be able to do so in your tag editor too.

Jay, my question wasn't "where to find installation packages for ID3 tagging, but specifically anything even close to Tag&Rename.
Out of a dozen of existing Linux apps, only 2 allow manipulating media files located on network shares and only 1 remotely matches functionality (but no network API).
Kid3 can read FLAC tags and can "see" files on network shares, but is buggy and limited in its ability to bulk file editing (e.g. change the "genre" tag on 20 MP3 files in a folder)
I ended up setting up a Win 8.1 VM just for 1 program - Rag&Rename. If you're even remotely interested in music media librarys (and I have 4Gb of music in lossless format) - check out Tag&Rename - it's available in portable form for Windows

One can use refined beetroot sugar if they don't have (or have never had a taste of) honey. EasyTag is for local files only - can't read samba shares.

I've been using kid3-qt for a decade now and there's no trouble changing the genre (or any common tag) on a whole folder of ogg files with no problem. And while it is indeed slow saving changes over smb, I haven't encountered any truly buggy behavior.
