How To Fix editcomment: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu editcomment is provided by crip package.

crip is:

crip creates Ogg Vorbis/FLAC/MP3 files under UNIX/Linux. It is well-suited for anyone (especially the perfectionist) who seeks to make a lot of files from CDs and have them all properly labeled and professional-quality with a minimum of hassle and yet still have flexibility and full control over everything. Current versions of crip only support Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

This script is special because it is capable of doing group vorbisgain/replaygain and/or normalization (adjust the volume to be as loud as possible without clipping/distortion) and group labelling/tagging, which makes it easy to allow a group of tracks to be treated as one piece. It can also trim off the silence at the beginning and end of these tracks/groups.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install crip

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install crip.

sudo apt -y install crip

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install crip
