VORBISCOMMENT(1) Ogg Vorbis Tools VORBISCOMMENT(1)NAME
vorbiscomment - List or edit comments in Ogg Vorbis files
SYNOPSIS
vorbiscomment [-l] [-R] [-e] file.ogg
vorbiscomment -a [ -c commentfile | -t "name=value" ] [-q] [-R] [-e] in.ogg [out.ogg]
vorbiscomment -w [ -c commentfile | -t "name=value" ] [-q] [-R] [-e] in.ogg [out.ogg]
DESCRIPTION
vorbiscomment Reads, modifies, and appends Ogg Vorbis audio file metadata tags.
OPTIONS -a, --append
Append comments.
-c file, --commentfile file
Take comments from a file. The file is the same format as is output by the -l option or given to the -t option: one element per line
in 'tag=value' format. If the file is /dev/null and -w was passed, the existing comments will be removed.
-h, --help
Show command help.
-l, --list
List the comments in the Ogg Vorbis file.
-t 'name=value', --tag 'name=value'
Specify a new tag on the command line. Each tag is given as a single string. The part before the '=' is treated as the tag name and
the part after as the value.
-w, --write
Replace comments with the new set given either on the command line with -t or from a file with -c. If neither -c nor -t is given,
the new set will be read from the standard input.
-R, --raw
Read and write comments in UTF-8, rather than converting to the user's character set.
-e, --escapes
Quote/unquote newlines and backslashes in the comments. This ensures every comment is exactly one line in the output (or input),
allowing to filter and round-trip them. Without it, you can only write multi-line comments by using -t and you can't reliably dis-
tinguish them from multiple one-line comments.
Supported escapes are c-style "
", "
", "\" and " ". A backslash followed by anything else is an error.
Note: currently, anything after the first " " is thrown away while writing. This is a bug -- the Vorbis format can safely store
null characters, but most other tools wouldn't handle them anyway.
-V, --version
Display the version of vorbiscomment.
EXAMPLES
To just see what comment tags are in a file:
vorbiscomment -l file.ogg
To edit those comments:
vorbiscomment -l file.ogg > file.txt
[edit the comments in file.txt to your satisfaction]
vorbiscomment -w -c file.txt file.ogg newfile.ogg
To simply add a comment:
vorbiscomment -a -t 'ARTIST=No One You Know' file.ogg newfile.ogg
To add a set of comments from the standard input:
vorbiscomment -a file.ogg
ARTIST=No One You Know
ALBUM=The Famous Album
<ctrl-d>
TAG FORMAT
See http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html for documentation on the Ogg Vorbis tag format, including a suggested list of canonical tag
names.
