Elisa from git master. I can use Elisa to view metadata, but not edit it. My most common use case for this is changing/correcting the genre of an album. I prefer to use Genre as the base level of organization (I do Genre > Artist > Album) but most music I buy comes tagged with the wrong genre, so I often need to change it. Not being able to edit metadata in Elisa means I have to do this with 3rd-party software like Picard, but this is made more difficult than necessary due to the lack of Bug 406471. If this feature were implemented, I wouldn't feel the need for Bug 406471 so strongly.
Alternatively, provide a button/function/feature that will open the given song/album/whatever in an external tag editing app. This is what Lollypop does and it works fine.
Given how much KFileMetaData has improved with regard to the write capability, it would feel more integrated to edit directly from Elisa interface.
That would be quite lovely.
