Is there a way to display and edit .mp3 tags using command prompt ? Stuff like :- Title Album Artist Genre And the like, plus a script to display the track length and bitrate. any pointers , cheers
I must have my stupid head on. I have followed the link, downloaded a bunch of files but I cant made head nor tail of them. As an example they have Code: id3edit --get-name example.mp3 In the bunch of files I have I do not see any that says "id3Edit" I sort of expected seeing an .exe file, id3edit.exe type of thing. One I could point command prompt to. What am I doing wrong
Well I did something wrong, i didn't notice it's for Linux only. Whatever or recent windows is pretty straightforward to use linux executables on the windows filesystem and viceversa using WSL. Probably WSL1 is better suited for your purpose I looked briefly and seem that there isn't a straight windows cmd executables, there are many solution that requires Perl or Python, not sure if takes more time to setup WSL or Perl/Phyton.
@tnx Unlike id3edit, the KDE community's Kid3 audio tagger is multi-platform. The maintainers provide ready-to-use binaries for Windows, which in fact include a handy command line tool named kid3-cli. Apart from this, it looks like the developer of the id3 mass tagger software has also decided to revive the project. You can find pre-built Windows executables from the Release section of its GitHub repo. Finally, you can also opt for the mighty ffmpeg (example: 1, 2).
