Free id3v2 mp3 software for linux

MPEG::ID3v2Tag is a Perl module that parses and creates ID3v2 Tags for MPEG audio files.

SYNOPSIS

use MPEG::ID3v2Tag ;
use IO::File ;

# create a tag
$tag = MPEG::ID3v2Tag->new() ;
$tag->add_frame("TIT2", "Happy Little Song") ; # one step
$frame = MPEG::ID3Frame::TALB->new("Happy little album") ;
$tag->add_frame($frame) ; # two steps
$tag->add_frame("WCOM", "http://www.mp3.com") ;
$tag->add_frame("APIC", -picture_type => 0, -file => "happy_little_song.gif");
.....
$tag->set_padding_size(256) ;
print OUTFILE $tag->as_string() ;

# read a tag from a file and dump out some data.
$fh = IO::File->new(" binmode $fh;
$tag = MPEG::ID3v2Tag->parse($fh) ;
foreach $frame ($tag->frames()) {
print $frame->frameid(), "n" ; # prints TALB, TIT2, WCOM, etc.
if ($frame->flag_read_only()) {
print " read onlyn" ;
}
if ($frame->fully_parsed() && $frame->frameid =~ /^T.../) {
print " frame text is ", $frame->text(), "n" ;
}
if ($frame->fully_parsed() && $frame->frameid =~ /^W.../) {
print " url is ", $frame->url(), "n" ;
}
}

MPEG::ID3v2Tag is a class capable of parsing and creating ID3v2 revision 3 tags. While not all frames are fully supported, its easy to add support for more.
The object doesnt (currently) support modification of .mp3 files; the caller has to handle the mechanics of prepending the tag to the file.

ID3v2ChapterTool is an application which allows you to author and embed chapter information in your MP3 files. ID3v2 Chapter Tool project is part of the BBC open source initiative and is maintained as a Sourceforge project.

The application uses a new signalling specification that has been developed by ID3.org which is supported by APIs created in this project. These build on the Java ID3 API developed by Jens Vonderheide.

Chapters in this context could be any of the following:

- chapters within an audiobook
- articles within a podcast
- individual tracks within a multi-track audio file

At the most basic level this chapter information consists of the start time of each chapter you define, allowing listeners to skip easily to these points in the file during replay. However, chapters can also have descriptive information (e.g. title), images and URLs.

The information attached to each chapter can be used by media players to provide a dynamic display during replay. For example, the images attached to each chapter can be used to provide a slide show.

The ID3v2ChapterTool also allows you to create a Table of Contents (TOC).

At the most advanced level it is possible to define multiple TOCs for a single audio file. For example, one TOC could provide access to the entire audio file whilst a second TOC could provide access to a set of highlights.

Once chapter information is widely supported by media players it will enable some exciting new multimedia applications such Audio Encyclopaedias.

MP3::Tag::ID3v2 is a Read / Write ID3v2.x.y tags from mp3 audio files.

SYNOPSIS

MP3::Tag::ID3v2 supports * Reading of ID3v2.2.0 and ID3v2.3.0 tags (some ID3v2.4.0 frames too) * Writing of ID3v2.3.0 tags

MP3::Tag::ID3v2 is designed to be called from the MP3::Tag module.

use MP3::Tag;
$mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);

# read an existing tag
$mp3->get_tags();
$id3v2 = $mp3->{ID3v2} if exists $mp3->{ID3v2};

# or create a new tag
$id3v2 = $mp3->new_tag("ID3v2");

See MP3::Tag for information on the above used functions.

* Reading a tag

$frameIDs_hash = $id3v2->get_frame_ids(truename);

foreach my $frame (keys %$frameIDs_hash) {
my ($name, @info) = $id3v2->get_frame($frame);
for my $info (@info) {
if (ref $info) {
print "$name ($frame):n";
while(my ($key,$val)=each %$info) {
print " * $key => $valn";
}
} else {
print "$name: $infon";
}
}
}
* Adding / Changing / Removing / Writing a tag
$id3v2->add_frame("TIT2", "Title of the song");
$id3v2->change_frame("TALB","Greatest Album");
$id3v2->remove_frame("TLAN");
$id3v2->write_tag();
* Removing the whole tag
$id3v2->remove_tag();
* Get information about supported frames
%tags = $id3v2->supported_frames();
while (($fname, $longname) = each %tags) {
print "$fname $longname: ",
join(", ", @{$id3v2->what_data($fname)}), "n";
}

Sort MP3 is a script was made to help in organizing MP3s. If you have one directory with allot of mp3s and the names are not very readable you can run this script against them. It will read the id tag of a mp3 and rename the file to the title of the song but with _ instead of spaces. It can also create a directory structure from the id tag if the -c option is used. The structure will be put in the same directory the mp3s are in. It will be something like: "/BANDNAME/CDTITLE/SONG.mp3"

Usage: sort_mp3.pl [options]
Options should be separated by a space and my be
in any order.

-c Create a directory structure from the mp3 tag.
It is made inside the directory holding the un-named mp3s.
If not set the files will just be renamed.
Example: "/BANDNAME/CDTITLE/SONG.mp3"

-d= Path to the directory where mp3s can be found.
There should be no / at the end and no spaces.
Example: "-d=/unsorted_mp3s"

MP3::ID3v1Tag can edit ID3v1 Tags from an Audio MPEG Layer 3.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::ID3v1Tag;

$mp3_file = new MP3::ID3v1Tag("filename.mp3");
$mp3_file->print_tag();

if($mp3_file->got_tag()) {
$mp3_file->set_title($title);
$save_status = $mp3_file->save();
}

The ID3v1Tag routines are useful for setting and reading ID3 MP3 Audio Tags. Just create an MP3::ID3v1Tag Object with the path to the file of interest, and query any of the methods below.

ID3 mass tagger is a portable command-line mass tagger for audio files.
ID3 mass tagger is designed for non-interactively adding, updating or removing meta-information in a number of files with a single command.
It can generate tag fields from the filename and rename files using an intuitive syntax. It currently supports ID3 (1.1) and ID3v2 (2.0, 3.0) tags.
Exemple:
Here are some examples of using id3:
id3 -a "Stallman" -t "Free Software Song" fs_song.mp3"
Add a simple tag to a file.
id3 -d *.mp3
Removes all ID3v1 tags from all mp3s
id3 -g "psych rock" *.mp3
Sets genre to "Psychedelic Rock" all mp3s
id3 -2 -1 -u "*.mp3"
Copy ID3v2 tag to ID3v1 tag in all files.
id3 -a "TAFKAT" -n "%1" -t "%+2" "*. *.mp3"
Update tag fields similar to this;
id3 -a "TAFKAT" -n "01" -t "My Song" "01. my_song.mp3"
id3 -a "TAFKAT" -n "02" -t "Untitled" "02. untitled.mp3"
id3 -2 -f "%a - %t.mp3" blaet.mp3
Rename file to a standard "Artist - Title" format, using ID3v2 values.
id3 -g "alt rock" -a "The Author" -l %1 -n %2 -t %3 "Author - */(*) *.mp3"
Process multiple directories at once.
id3 -g "alt rock" -a "The Author" -m "Author - %l/(%n) %t.mp3"
Shorthand for the previous example.
id3 -a %t -t %a "*.mp3"
Swap artist and title fields in all mp3s.
id3 -D source.mp3 -1 -2 dest.mp3
Copy ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags of source.mp3 to dest.mp3
id3 -D source.mp3 -1u -2u dest.mp3
As above, but only replaces the non-standard or blank fields in dest.mp3 by data from source.mp3.
id3 -2 -rAPIC -s 0 *.mp3
Removes embedded images and padding from all mp3s.
id3 -2 -rAPIC -s 0 -R "*.mp3" "/my documents"
As above, but works recursively on all mp3s in the directory tree starting at /my documents
id3 -2 -q "%| %a - %|Untitled|t || %t || %1 |?" "*.mp3"
Generate a playlist, using the best possible text
id3 -2 -c "Was: %_f" -f "%a - %|Untitled (%#x)|t.mp3" "*.mp3"
Advanced rename. Saves previous filename in the comment field, and renames files without proper tags to;
Unknown - Untitled (01).mp3
Unknown - Untitled (02).mp3
... etc
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Lyrics3 tags.
