NAME
id3tool - a command line editor for id3 tags. SYNOPSIS
id3tool [options] files ... DESCRIPTION
This manual page is for the id3tool command. id3tool is a program that can be used to view and edit id3 tags from the command line. When invoked from the command line with filenames and no options, it will display the used fields of the id3 tags. When invoked from the command line with filenames and "set" options, it will change the id3 tag fields specified to the specified values on all the files. Due to limitations in the ID3v1 specification, most fields are limited to 30 characters. The note field is limited to 28 characters if a track number is in use. You can force a tag to be v1.1 by using a specifying a non-zero track number, or force a tag to be v1.0 by specifying a track number of zero (0). OPTIONS
The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A complete list of options are included below. For a complete description, use the help option. -t, --set-title=WORD Sets the title to WORD -a, --set-album=WORD Sets the album to WORD -r, --set-artist=WORD Sets the artist to WORD -y, --set-year=YEAR Sets the year to YEAR [4 digits] -n, --set-note=WORD Sets the note to WORD -g, --set-genre=INT Sets the genre code to INT (the codes can be acquired from the genre list.) -G, --set-genre-word=WORD Sets the genre to WORD (given that WORD is from the genre list.) -c, --set-track=INT Sets the track to INT -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --version Show version of program. -l, --genre-list Shows the genre list.

NAME
id3 - an ID3 tag editor. SYNOPSIS
id3 [-tTaAycg newdata] file1 [file2 [file3...]] id3 -l file1 [file2 [file3...]] id3 -d file1 [file2 [file3...]] id3 -L DESCRIPTION
id3 is an ID3 v1.1 tag editor. ID3 tags are traditionally put at the end of compressed streamed audio files to denote information about the audio contents. Up to thirty characters of Title, Artist, and Album information can be stored, as well as a 28-character comment, four- digit year, track number up to 255, and an enumerated genre. OPTIONS
-t title Sets the title tag to the first 28 characters of title. -T track Sets the track tag to a number between 0 and 255. -a artist Sets the artist tag to the first 28 characters of artist. -A album Sets the album tag to the first 28 characters of album. -y year Sets the year tag to the first 4 characters of year. -c comment Sets the comment tag to the first 28 characters of comment. -g genre Sets the genre number tag using a genre number or predefined genre label. -l List/view the ID3 tag. -L List all genre tags. -R Use rfc822-style output for tag printout. -d Delete the ID3 tag. BUGS
The ID3 format has some shortcomings. There is a 1 in 16777216 chance of your mp3 having a certain bit-pattern, causing id3 to write over the last 128 bytes of your mp3 upon tag creation. If you add a track number to an ID3 v1.0 tag, the last two characters of the comment string will be truncated. Any bugs found in id3 should be forwarded to the author, Robert Woodcock <rcw@debian.org>. ID3(1)
