Copy ID3v2 tags to ID3v1 tags on the Linux commandline

This was hard to find on the internet, so lets lend us some googlejuice. Taken from http://www.webninja.com/2006/04/ (thanks to Caleb Shay) and quietened down a bit, so it will run a bit quicker.

apt-get install libmp3-info-perl first.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# addv1.pl to copy the id3v2 tag to the id3v1 data
use MP3::Info qw(:all);
use_mp3_utf8();

$v2tags = get_mp3tag($ARGV[0],2);
set_mp3tag($ARGV[0],$v2tags);

Usage: find /dump/mp3/albums/ -type f -name '*.mp3' -exec /usr/local/bin/addv1.pl "{}" \;
