Free mp3 tags software for linux

MP3::Tag is a Perl module for reading tags of MP3 audio files.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::Tag;

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

# get some information about the file in the easiest way
($title, $track, $artist, $album, $comment, $year, $genre) = $mp3->autoinfo();
$comment = $mp3->comment();

# or have a closer look on the tags

# scan file for existing tags
$mp3->get_tags;

if (exists $mp3->{ID3v1}) {
# read some information from the tag
$id3v1 = $mp3->{ID3v1}; # $id3v1 is only a shortcut for $mp3->{ID3v1}
print $id3v1->title;

# change the tag contents
$id3v1->all("Song","Artist","Album",2001,"Comment",10,"Top 40");
$id3v1->write_tag;
}

if (exists $mp3->{ID3v2}) {
# read some information from the tag
($name, $info) = $mp3->{ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
# delete the tag completely from the file
$mp3->{ID3v2}->remove_tag;
} else {
# create a new tag
$mp3->new_tag("ID3v2");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->add_frame("TALB", "Album title");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->write_tag;
}

$mp3->close();

MP3DB2 is a collection of bash scripts for keeping track of large MP3 collections. It will retrieve song information from the filenames and ID3 tags of a directory or CD of MP3s and store them in a local database.
This program is a complete rewrite of my MP3 database version 1. Version 1 only stored the data that was present in the filenames while version 2 actually retrieves information from the ID3 tags of each MP3.
Please note that as of this version the database format is NOT considered carved in stone. I have already added a few fields mid-development and this will continue for a while if I think the format can be made better. See the changelog for a list of changes to the database format since V2.0.
Enhancements:
- mp3dupe: now just displays the name of the directory we are checking not the full path in the host filesystem.

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.

JSP Prize Tags project is a JSP tag library. The primary tags of Prize Tags are the Tree Tag and Tabbed Pane Tag. The Tree Tag makes it easy to implement tree controls in your JSP pages.
The Tabbed Pane Tag makes it easy to implement tabbed panes in your JSP pages. You can put any JSP code inside a tab, and even include other JSPs inside a tab.
The JSP Prize Tags also includes a collection of smaller tag libraries like the icon tag, the alternate tag (for alternating content on the page, such as the background color of table rows or an ad rotator), laying calendar events in a table, and more.
Enhancements:
- This is the stable release of the 3.3.4-beta that was released in March.
- The primary news is the addition of Tree Daos to the Tree Tag, making it easier to create dynamic trees, with content read from either a file system, a database, or other data sources.

Mp3Kult project organizes your collection of MP3s. Mp3Kult is an application for KDE 3. It organizes your MP3/Ogg collection in a MySQL database.

It can read MP3/Ogg tags and song information (length, bit rate, sample rate, etc.), make playlists, play songs with an external player (xmms, gqmpeg), find a song in database (base and advanced search), and make a copy of a playlist on your hard disk (to play the playlist without inserting CDROMs).

Mp3Kult can recursivly scan directories to find MP3/Ogg files, and it can automatically mount, umount, and eject a CDROM before/after a job.

MP3::Tag::File is a Perl module for reading / writing files.

SYNOPSIS

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

($title, $artist, $no, $album, $year) = $mp3->parse_filename();
see MP3::Tag

MP3::Tag::File is designed to be called from the MP3::Tag module.
It offers possibilities to read/write data from files via read(), write(), truncate(), seek(), tell(), open(), close(); one can find the filename via the filename() method.
parse_filename()

($title, $artist, $no, $album, $year) = $mp3->parse_filename($what, $filename);

parse_filename() tries to extract information about artist, title, track number, album and year from the filename. (For backward compatibility it may be also called by deprecated name read_filename().)

This is likely to fail for a lot of filenames, especially the album will be often wrongly guessed, as the name of the parent directory is taken as album name.

$what and $filename are optional. $what maybe title, track, artist, album or year. If $what is defined parse_filename() will return only this element.

If $filename is defined this filename will be used and not the real filename which was set by MP3::Tag with MP3::Tag-new($filename)>. Otherwise the actual filename is used (subject to configuration variable decode_encoding_filename).

Following formats will be hopefully recognized:

- album name/artist name - song name.mp3
- album_name/artist_name-song_name.mp3
- album.name/artist.name_song.name.mp3
- album name/(artist name) song name.mp3
- album name/01. artist name - song name.mp3
- album name/artist name - 01 - song.name.mp3

If artist or title end in (NUMBER) with 4-digit NUMBER, it is considered the year.
title()

$title = $mp3->title($filename);

Returns the title, guessed from the filename. See also parse_filename(). (For backward compatibility, can be called by deprecated name song().)

$filename is optional and will be used instead of the real filename if defined.

artist()

$artist = $mp3->artist($filename);

Returns the artist name, guessed from the filename. See also parse_filename()

$filename is optional and will be used instead of the real filename if defined.

track()

$track = $mp3->track($filename);

Returns the track number, guessed from the filename. See also parse_filename()

$filename is optional and will be used instead of the real filename if defined.

year()

$year = $mp3->year($filename);

Returns the year, guessed from the filename. See also parse_filename()

$filename is optional and will be used instead of the real filename if defined.

album()

$album = $mp3->album($filename);

Returns the album name, guessed from the filename. See also parse_filename() The album name is guessed from the parent directory, so it is very likely to fail.

$filename is optional and will be used instead of the real filename if defined.
comment()

$comment = $mp3->comment($filename); # Always undef

genre()

$genre = $mp3->genre($filename); # Always undef
