MusicBrainz Picard is a cross-platform (Linux/Mac OS X/Windows) application written in Python and is the official MusicBrainz tagger.

Picard supports the majority of audio file formats, is capable of using audio fingerprints (PUIDs), performing CD lookups and disc ID submissions, and it has excellent Unicode support. Additionally, there are several plugins available that extend Picard’s features.

Go to http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard to download for free.

The two plugins i found most useful were
Last.fm Tags – Use Last.fm tags as “genre” (This may slow down auto tagging significantly but does a good job)
Cover Art Downloader – Downloads cover art for optional tag embedding and/or saving as a separate image file (works fast and seamlessly)
you can download these plugins plus much more here .

This is a quick tutorial that will show how to get Hercules RMX installed and working with Mixxx DJ software on Ubuntu 9.10
- the Karmic Koala .

First go to http://www.mixxx.org/download.php and downloaded the latest version of Mixxx

Then download the package below and install the Hercules RMX driver for Ubuntu Here
hdjmod-dkms_1.28_karmic.deb

Then download the Hercules RMX control panel here
ftp://ftp.hercules.com/pub/webupdate/DJCSeries/Hercules_DJSeries_Linux.tgz
And if your on x86 install hdjcpl_1.09-1_i386.deb
and if your on x64  install hdjcpl_1.09-1_amd64.deb
Make sure MIDI Channel is set to (1 Default)

Now open up Mixxx and go to Options>Preferences and make sure your settings are the same as the following images and you are set to mix!

Thanks to pizzapanther on the Mixxx forums we now have a working dep for Hercules RMX drivers for Ubuntu.

First impressions.

The interface is really nice and intuitive
It connected to my word press blog easily
adding a photo from your pc is a snap.You can even add effects and resize the photo easily. Text editing is nice it has inline spell checking and its really easy to format.

Insert maps, links, videos(from YouTube and windows live accounts and any embed video code easily as well as videos from your pc) and has option for additional plug-ins for a ton of different things.

 
It also has an option to preview your post your working on right on your website.

Only problem I see is that it doesn’t integrate the option to insert photos or other media that’s already on my word press.

<–But you can drag and drop photos from your web browser into Live Writer but you cannot ad effects to them.

It also lets you edit older posts that were made without live writer.

I think I will be using this program instead of logging into the dashboard for word press on my website. I’ll update this post after I use it for a week or two.
