audiotag /
README
REQUIREMENTS
To use Audiotag, you must have:
1. Perl >= 5.6
2. At least one of...
- id3tag and id3info (from id3lib, id3lib.sourceforge.net) in $PATH
- vorbiscomment (from vorbis-tools, xiph.org/ogg/vorbis) in $PATH
- metaflac (from flac, flac.sourceforge.net) in $PATH
INSTALL
Just copy `audiotag' to /usr/local/bin (or somewhere in your $PATH)
USAGE
% audiotag [OPTION]... [FILE]...
tip: Always use the -p option before running it for real!
Examples:
Set GENRE to "Metal"
% audiotag -g Metal *.mp3 *.ogg
Guess and set TRACKNUM - guess track uses the simple pattern '(\d\d)\.'
% audiotag -G *.mp3 *.ogg
Set TITLE based on a pattern match of the filename - This example would
work for files with a name in the form "Mudvayne - 01. Shadow of a Man.ogg"
% audiotag --title-pattern '.*?\d\d\. (.*?)\.ogg' *.ogg
Same as above, but don't really do anything, just see what it WOULD do
% audiotag --pretend --title-pattern '.*?\d\d\. (.*?)\.ogg' *.ogg
Rename files based on their meta-data, so the filenames are in the form:
"TRACKNUM. Artist (Album Name) Song Title.ogg"
eg. "02. Tool (Undertow) Prison Sex.ogg"
% audiotag --rename-files --rename-pattern '%t. %a (%A) %s' *.ogg
BUGS
- comment field support isn't fully functional for MP3s, because, for some
reason, comment fields in MP3s are key/value pairs... which doesn't
translate to ogg and flac. And id3tag doesn't support MP3 comment fields
very well to begin with either.
- the --rename-files option will fail(ungracefully) if illegal filename
characters are in a track's meta-data, eg. '/' on *nix(and most other
systems), or '\' on 'doze(but who cares?).
