In addition to the new features, this version benefits from a few fixed bugs, like the ability to now remove id3v1 genre tag or a build fix.

The complete list of new features in 3.3.0 can be found here. Install Kid3 3.3.0 in Ubuntu 14.04/15.x and Mint 17.x

There is a PPA available for Kid3, and to install it use the following commands in a terminal (there are packages available for both KDE and Qt only, install only the one you want):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ufleisch/kid3 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kid3 # KDE users sudo apt-get install kid3-qt # without KDE dependencies sudo apt-get install kid3-cli # for the command-line interface

DEB packages are also provided on the official download page (but only for Ubuntu 15.04), and you can use these instructions to install from DEB.
