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 original
   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
