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.
-e, --escape
Enable interpretation of backslash escapes for tag values.
Makes it possible to escape the colon-separator in TXXX, COMM
values like '\:' and insert escape sequences like '\n', '\t'
etc.
-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=FRAMES
Delete specific ID3v2 frames (or groups of frames) from the
files. FRAMES is a "," separated list of frame names e.g.
"TPE1,TALB"
-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
description to an empty string.
-p,--picture=<FILENAME:DESCRIPTION:IMAGE-TYPE:MIME-TYPE>
Set the attached picture (APIC). Everything except the filename
can be omitted in which case default values will be used.
-g,--genre=GENRE
Set the genre information (TCON).
-y,--year=<YYYY>, --date=<YYYY-[MM-DD]>
Set the year/date information (TDRC).
-T,--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!.
The TXXX frame requires a colon-separated description key; many TXXX
frames may be set in the file as long as they have different keys. To
set this key, just separate the text with a colon, e.g. --TXXX
"ALBUMARTISTSORT:Examples, The".
The special POPM frame can be set in a similar way: --POPM
"bob@example.com:128:2" to set Bob's rating to 128/255 with 2 plays.
BUGS
No sanity checking is done on the editing operations you perform, so mid3v2 will happily accept --TSIZ when editing an ID3v2.4 frame. However, it will also automatically throw it out during the next edit operation.
