Hi all,

I don't know how many Linux users there are out there, but I figured I would post this information here irregardless. I have been frustrated for a long time about the lack of _good_ tagging utilities under Linux (especially ones that support id3v2.4/UTF-8 encoding), so I was happy when I found this program that not only a) is free of charge, and 🕶 has great functionality and is in constant development.

Ok, all gushing aside, here is my configuration that allows me to run Mp3tag v2.35n (yes, the current dev. version) perfectly:

Distro: Gentoo (not that it matters)  
Kernel: 2.6.16  
Wine version: 0.9.12

Note that my Wine install has been configured using [Winetools](http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/)

The install goes perfectly. When first starting Mp3tag, it will complain about the lack of gdiplus.dll. You need to copy this file from a real Windows installation (should be able to find it in \Windows\system32). After I copied this file over, it started up quickly, and runs perfectly.

Here is a screenshot:
