MP3TAG(1) General Commands Manual MP3TAG(1)NAME
mp3tag - view and manipulate ID3v1 tags.
SYNOPSIS
mp3tag [ -s song ] [ -a artist ] [ -l album ] [ -y year ] [ -e comment ] [ -k track ] [ -g genre ] [ -r ] file [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the mp3tag command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the orig-
inal program does not have one.
mp3tag is a program that allows you to both view and manipulate ID3v1 metadata tags. Running the command with just a filename will display
the file's current tag. Setting some options will cause the tag to be updated and displayed.
OPTIONS -a artist
Set the artist name to artist. Strings over thirty characters are truncated.
-e comment
Set the comment to comment. Strings over thirty characters are truncated.
-g genre
Set the genre to genre. This is a single integer with a value of 0 to 254 corresponding to the appropriate Winamp compatible genre
(use '-g list' to list all supported genres).
-k track
Set the track number to track. This is a single integer with a value of 0 to 255. Specifying this field truncates the comment field
to twenty-eight characters, as per the ID3v1.1 standard.
-l album
Set the album name to album. Strings over thirty characters are truncated.
-r Merge new tag with any preexisting tag in the file.
-s song
Set the song name to song. Strings over thirty characters are truncated.
-y year
Set the year to year. Strings over four characters are truncated.
EXAMPLES
Display foo.mp3's current ID3v1 info:
mp3tag foo.mp3
Set foo.mp3's artist to 'Bar', and album to 'Baz':
mp3tag -a Bar -l Baz foo.mp3
Set foo.mp3's year to 2001, merging it with any tag already present:
mp3tag -y 2001 -r foo.mp3
