NAME

       puddletag - puddletag

SYNOPSIS

       puddletag [options] [directory path]

DESCRIPTION

       puddletag  is  an  audio  tag  editor  (primarily  created)  for  GNU/Linux similar to the Windows program, Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers for
       GNU/Linux, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.

       The usual tag editor features are supported like extracting tag information from filenames, renaming files based on  their  tags  by  using
       patterns and basic tag editing.

       Then  there're  Functions, which can do things like replace text, trim it, do case conversions, etc. Actions can automate repetitive tasks.
       You can import your QuodLibet library, lookup tags using  Amazon  (including  cover  art),  Discogs  (does  cover  art  too!),  FreeDB  and
       MusicBrainz. There's quite a bit more, but I've reached my comma quota.

       Supported  formats: ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.), VorbisComments (ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and WavPack
       (wv).

OPTIONS

       directory path
	      Path to any directory which'll be loaded on startup.

       -h, --help
	      Show help message and exit.

       --langfile=LANGFILE
	      Path to a translation (.qm) file. If valid, this file'll be used to translate puddletag. Otherwise the last translation chosen  will
	      be used.

       --fontsize=FONTSIZE
	      Default font size to use (in points). All UI elements except the file-view will use this font size.

       -d, --debug
	      Show (useless) debug messages. Do not use.

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.

       -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 contains
	      embedded binary data.

       -d, --delete-v2
	      Delete ID3v2 tags.

       -s, --delete-v1
	      Delete ID3v1 tags.

       -D, --delete-all
	      Delete all ID3 tags.

       --delete-frames=FID1,FID2,...
	      Delete specific ID3v2 frames (or groups of frames) from the files.

       -C, --convert
	      Convert ID3v1 tags to ID3v2 tags. This will also happen automatically 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 omitted, in which case the language defaults to English, and the descrip-
	      tion to an empty string.

       -g, --genre=genre
	      Set the genre information (TCON).

       -y, --year=, --date=YYYY-[MM-DD]
	      Set the year/date information (TDRC).

       -Tnum/num, --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!.

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 operation.

       Joe Wreschnig is the author of mid3v2, but he doesn't like to admit it.
