I've quite a collection audio files, mostly flac. In Rythmbox there are a files with no tags filled or filled with describing names as Track 01. I can look for properties to see which file it is and tag it with Easytag. But that quite time consuming.
Is there a command line or a simple set of commands to find all flacs with an empty tag(artist,title,tracknumber,album) and tags which contains one of the words 'track' or 'unknown' (case insensitive).
The following commmands show the tags of flac and mp3 for example:
The output is comparable but not the same. Could they two be combined in one line? Some like find ... | sed ... ?
Here are example outputs:
Code:
~$ metaflac --export-tags-to=- 01.\ The\ Florida\ Airport\ Tape.flac
ARTIST=Frank Zappa
TITLE=The Florida Airport Tape
ALBUM=You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 1, Disc 1
DATE=1988
TRACKNUMBER=01
GENRE=Rock
COMMENT=Track 1
~$ id3 -l -R 01\ -\ Alex\ Roeka\ -\ Het\ schip\ genaamd\ \'de\ Nacht\'.mp3
Filename: 01 - Alex Roeka - Het schip genaamd 'de Nacht'.mp3
Title: Het Schip Genaamd 'De Nacht'
Artist: Alex Roeka
Album: Wildernis
Year:
Genre: Other (12)
Track: 1

Maybe there is already a tool for this, but I like to know how to do this on the command line or in a script. It would be very helpful for other scripts I want to write. I just started to discover the possibilities of bash. And I have a long way to go.
