hi,

I'd rather like to see an enhanced tagging support in amarok - as the whole 
collection thing is metadata based, it would be nice to have the possibility 
to improve the tagging consistency - especially when handling bigger 
collections. so, add e.g. the possibility to catch misspellings in genres or 
artist names and retag the whole bunch with one defined term - some wildcards  
or even regex stuff for the nerds should be fine =)

optionally - after scanning the selection show a nice info popup 
"its seems like some genre tags are misspelled  blabla" - and list 
Hip Hop  [misspellings]
fix it ? yes / no
and so on for some common misspellings.

as it seems that the metadata mass-editing capabilities are an important and 
frequently used feature, it needs only little to make amarok [enter your 
world domination phantasy here]
