id3v2 - A command line id3v2 tag editor.
http://id3v2.sourceforge.net

In case you didn't know id3 tags can be found on mp3 files, they can store infomation about what band recorded the song, the song name, etc.

I wrote this because id3v1 are seriously deficient in what kind of info can be in them and the length of info that can be in them. id3v2 tags are much better but there isn't a tool to edit them in Linux. This is a tool to fill that space.

See INSTALL for directions on building id3v2.

As of version 0.1.10 this code is under the LGPL. A lot of it is based off the examples in id3lib, but there is some code from me :).

thanks goes out to:

Antti Andreimann - patch to write only one version of tag

Vladimir Pastukhov - patch to handle General object frames w/o segfaulting

Errica Crome - patch to fix genre display.

Branko Radovanovic - patch 1: - No more seg faults for: --IPLS, --UFID, --PCNT, -- POPM. Note that these still merely print the info (i.e. the file is not changed).

- No more seg faults for --comment. And the new code
actually *sets* the comment.

- No more seg faults for --TXXX desc:text.

- "TSIZ results in unrecognized option" now fixed.

Also rearranged some redundant code and made several
minor changes (a bit more consistent coding style,
spelling, etc.) 

patch 2:

In PrintID3v1Tag() fread() in fact returns size_t (number
of items read), which is unsigned, and the error
reporting code is thus never executed. Fixed now.

BTW, it would probably be a good idea to compile with "-
W -Wall pedantic". This is how I caught it.    

(I've changed the make file as he suggested)

Jim Ursetto - Attached patch deletes id3v2 tags when passed an empty string, rather than just setting them to a null string. I.e. -a "" will delete the artist tag. Works for comments too: -c "ID3v1 Comment::XXX" will delete the default comment derived from the v1 tag.

Martin Soto When a file has an unknown genre (number 255) the program dies with a segmentation fault. When applied to list.cpp the patch should correct that by printing "Unknown" as the genre.

Aubin Paul patch to build under gcc 3.2

Jens Rehsack I attach a few patches for the id3v2 tool you're responsible for. Maybe it's useful to apply them, 'cause at the moment the implementation doesn't conforms the ANSI C++ standard. (I didn't check the whole source but those lines which causes the error).

Warren Stevens Whole bunch of stuff

Roberto Costa <roberto.costa at ensta.org> Patch to fix id3 genres

Aggelos Kolaitis 'id3v2 --APIC image.jpg song.mp3' would not set the attached picture of the mp3, just output information for the existing picture, if any. This has been fixed.
