Grip, as a front end, works well, but it doesn't allow me to vary artist or year within a rip of a single CD.


Did you click the "Multi-artist" box in the tag entry area? It will even split title tags automatically into seperate title and artist tags where they are downloaded from the FreeDB in "Songname - Artisit" format.

Hmm, year is not variable though, your stuck with disc year and not track year there.
