The kxstudio repos provide extra stuff that sits on top of your existing distro.
It can be Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Trisquel, whatever.
As long as it's based on Debian (and it's not too old) the kxstudio repos will work on top of it.
I know that you can add your repos to other Debian based distros but I'm talking about using the actual KXStudio distro itself, which is built ontop of/based on Ubuntu. Therefore I'm guessing the standard Unbuntu repos are enabled with a standard KXStudio install, right? Makes sense as you obviously want to focus solely on the audio applications and bits which are rarely, if ever, updated within a lifespan of a Ubuntu release.
Regarding mp3diags, it the author already provides binaries and those binaries work fine, then keep using them.
Fair enough. I'll enable his repo for it again and cope with the naming anomaly.
For me I prefer to manage my music collection at the same time that I listen to it, so I use a media player for this (clementine).
Not quite sure what you mean here. I don't use mp3diags for id3 tagging, if that's what you're thinking (I do that with a combination of Rhythmbox with a plugin written by a friend of mine and Puddletag, depending) but use it for solving tag problems, such as when players report the wrong file length, wrong bit rate, or there are multiple version of id3 tags in the same file meaning different players give different results when checking artist/title/whatever. On your recommendation I will give Clementine a look too though
