NAME

       tagtool - a tool to tag and rename MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files.

SYNOPSIS

       tagtool [DIR]...

DESCRIPTION

       tagtool is a program to manage the information fields in MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files (commonly called tags). Tag Tool can be used to edit tags
       one by one, but the most useful features are mass tag and mass rename. These are designed to tag or rename hundreds of files  at  once,	in
       any desired format.

       Supplying an optional directory argument on the command line will cause tagtool to start in that directory.

       The following options are supported:

       --dump FILE
	      Dump all known information about FILE and exit.

       --help Print a short help message and exit.

       --version
	      Print the program version and exit.
