ID3 0.7 ======= id3 is a music stream tagging program that follows the ID3 specification. It lets you store the following info in a tag: * 30 character Artist name * 30 character Album name * 30 character Title name * 4 character Year * 30 character comment * enumerated Genre id3 uses command-line options to specify this data: -tTitle -aArtist -AAlbum -yYear -cComment -gGenre Anything that is not a command-line option is taken as a filename. Thus, you can tag an entire directory with Artist, Album, Year, and Genre information like so: id3 -a "Crash Test Dummies" -A "God Shuffled His Feet" -y 1993 -g Pop * If an entry contains no whitespace, you won't need to quote it - that's only so your shell gets things right. Unused data in fields are padded with spaces. If you wish to use id3 as part of a system of scripts you may wish to use the -R option which causes id3 to print out all changes and listings in an rfc822-style format (like mail headers). id3 -L will print out a list of all genres.
