Free your mp3 software for linux

Mp3dings is a small, powerful and easy-to-use program that allows you to change the names and edit the meta-information of a large number of mp3 files at the same time.
Main features:
- transfer information from filenames to ID3 tags and vice versa
- consistently name and/or tag your mp3 files
- reorganize the directory structure of your mp3 collection
Programs with similar scope usually lack the ability to process a large number of ID3 tags at the same time. Mp3dings is written in Java and can thus be used on every platform for which there is a Java Runtime Environment.
ID3 is a standard to store meta-information (author, title etc.) inside an audio file. An ID3v1 tag takes up a fixed number of bytes at the end of the file. This makes ID3v1 easy to implement but also severely limits the kind and amount of data such a tag can contain.
ID3v2 tags on the other hand can be arbitrarily large and can be used to store just about any kind of data. Naturally, this makes it quite hard to implement routines that read and write these tags. Mp3dings fully supports ID3v1 tags and a core set of ID3v2 frames (which will be extended gradually).

MP3::Tag::ParseData is a Perl module for parsing arbitrary data associated with music files.

SYNOPSIS

# parses the file name according to one of the patterns:
$mp3->config(parse_data, [i, %f, %t - %n - %a.%e, %t - %y.%e]);
$title = $mp3->title;

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();
