MID3V2(1) MID3V2(1) NAME mid3v2 - audio tag editor similar to 'id3v2' SYNOPSIS mid3v2 [options] filename ... DESCRIPTION mid3v2 is a Mutagen-based replacement for id3lib's id3v2. It supports ID3v2.4 and more frames; it also does not have the numerous bugs that plague id3v2. This program exists mostly for compatibility with programs that want to tag files using id3v2. For a more usable interface, we recommend Ex Falso. OPTIONS -q, --quiet Be quiet: do not mention file operations that perform the user's request. Warnings will still be printed. -v, --verbose Be verbose: state all operations performed. This is the opposite of --quiet. This is the default. -e, --escape Enable interpretation of backslash escapes for tag values. Makes it possible to escape the colon-separator in TXXX, WXXX, COMM values like '\:' and insert escape sequences like '\n', '\t' etc. -f, --list-frames Display all supported ID3v2.3/2.4 frames and their meanings. -L, --list-genres List all ID3v1 numeric genres. These can be used to set TCON frames, but it is not recommended. -l, --list List all tags in the files. The output format is not the same as id3v2's; instead, it is easily parsable and readable. Some tags may not have human-readable representations. --list-raw List all tags in the files, in raw format. Although this format is nominally human-readable, it may be very long if the tag con- tains embedded binary data. -d, --delete-v2 Delete ID3v2 tags. -s, --delete-v1 Delete ID3v1 tags. -D, --delete-all Delete all ID3 tags. --delete-frames=FRAMES Delete specific ID3v2 frames (or groups of frames) from the files. FRAMES is a "," separated list of frame names e.g. "TPE1,TALB" -C, --convert Convert ID3v1 tags to ID3v2 tags. This will also happen auto- matically during any editing. -a,--artist=ARTIST Set the artist information (TPE1). -A,--album=ALBUM Set the album information (TALB). -t,--song=TITLE Set the title information (TIT2). -c,--comment=<DESCRIPTION:COMMENT:LANGUAGE> Set a comment (COMM). The language and description may be omit- ted, in which case the language defaults to English, and the de- scription to an empty string. -p,--picture=<FILENAME:DESCRIPTION:IMAGE-TYPE:MIME-TYPE> Set the attached picture (APIC). Everything except the filename can be omitted in which case default values will be used. -g,--genre=GENRE Set the genre information (TCON). -y,--year=<YYYY>, --date=<YYYY-[MM-DD]> Set the year/date information (TDRC). -T,--track=<NUM/NUM> Set the track number (TRCK). Any text or URL frame (those beginning with T or W) can be modified or added by prefixing the name of the frame with "--". For example, --TIT3 "Monkey!" will set the TIT3 (subtitle) frame to Monkey!. The TXXX frame has the format <DESCRIPTION:TEXT>; many TXXX frames may be set in the file as long as they have different keys. To set this key, just separate the text with a colon, e.g. --TXXX "ALBUMARTIST- SORT:Examples, The". The description can be omitted in which case it defaults to an empty string. The WXXX frame has the same format as TXXX but since URLs usually con- tain a ":" you have provide a description or enable escaping (-e): --WXXX "desc:http://foo.bar" or -e --WXXX "http\\://foo.bar" The USLT frame has the format <DESCRIPTION:TEXT:LANGUAGE>. The language and description may be omitted, in which case the language defaults to English, and the description to an empty string. The special POPM frame can be set in a similar way: --POPM "bob@exam- ple.com:128:2" to set Bob's rating to 128/255 with 2 plays. BUGS No sanity checking is done on the editing operations you perform, so mid3v2 will happily accept --TSIZ when editing an ID3v2.4 frame. How- ever, it will also automatically throw it out during the next edit op- eration. AUTHOR Joe Wreschnig is the author of mid3v2, but he doesn't like to admit it. MID3V2(1)
