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:
-t Title
-a Artist
-A Album
-y Year
-c Comment
-g Genre
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.
