NAME

       mid3v2 - audio tag editor similar to 'id3v2'

SYNOPSIS

       mid3v2 [options] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       mid3v2 is a Mutagen-based replacement for id3lib's id3v2. It supports ID3v2.4 and more frames; it also does not have the numerous bugs that
       plague id3v2.

       This program exists mostly for compatibility with programs that want to tag files using id3v2. For a more usable interface, we recommend Ex
       Falso.

OPTIONS

       -q, --quiet
	      Be quiet: do not mention file operations that perform the user's request.  Warnings will still be printed.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose: state all operations performed. This is the opposite of --quiet. This is the default.

       -f, --list-frames
	      Display all supported ID3v2.3/2.4 frames and their meanings.

       -L, --list-genres
	      List all ID3v1 numeric genres. These can be used to set TCON frames, but it is not recommended.

       -l, --list
	      List all tags in the files. The output format is not the same as id3v2's; instead, it is easily parsable and readable. Some tags may
	      not have human-readable representations.

       --list-raw
	      List all tags in the files, in raw format. Although this format is nominally human-readable, it may be very long if the tag contains
	      embedded binary data.

       -d, --delete-v2
	      Delete ID3v2 tags.

       -s, --delete-v1
	      Delete ID3v1 tags.

       -D, --delete-all
	      Delete all ID3 tags.

       --delete-frames=FID1,FID2,...
	      Delete specific ID3v2 frames (or groups of frames) from the files.

       -C, --convert
	      Convert ID3v1 tags to ID3v2 tags. This will also happen automatically during any editing.

       -a, --artist=artist
	      Set the artist information (TPE1).

       -A, --album=album
	      Set the album information (TALB).

       -t, --song=title
	      Set the title information (TIT2).

       -c, --comment=DESCRIPTION:COMMENT:LANGUAGE
	      Set  a comment (COMM). The language and description may be omitted, in which case the language defaults to English, and the descrip-
	      tion to an empty string.

       -g, --genre=genre
	      Set the genre information (TCON).

       -y, --year=, --date=YYYY-[MM-DD]
	      Set the year/date information (TDRC).

       -Tnum/num, --track=num/num
	      Set the track number (TRCK).

       Any text or URL frame (those beginning with T or W) can be modified or added by prefixing the name of the frame	with  "--".  For  example,
       --TIT3 "Monkey!" will set the TIT3 (subtitle) frame to Monkey!.

BUGS

       No  sanity checking is done on the editing operations you perform, so mid3v2 will happily accept --TSIZ when editing an ID3v2.4 frame. How-
       ever, it will also automatically throw it out during the next edit operation.

NAME

       MP3::Tag::ID3v1 - Module for reading / writing ID3v1 tags of MP3 audio files

SYNOPSIS

       MP3::Tag::ID3v1 is designed to be called from the MP3::Tag module.

	 use MP3::Tag;
	 $mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);

	 # read an existing tag
	 $mp3->get_tags();
	 $id3v1 = $mp3->{ID3v1} if exists $mp3->{ID3v1};

	 # or create a new tag
	 $id3v1 = $mp3->new_tag("ID3v1");

       See MP3::Tag for information on the above used functions.

       * Reading the tag

	   print "  Title: " .$id3v1->title . "
";
	   print " Artist: " .$id3v1->artist . "
";
	   print "  Album: " .$id3v1->album . "
";
	   print "Comment: " .$id3v1->comment . "
";
	   print "   Year: " .$id3v1->year . "
";
	   print "  Genre: " .$id3v1->genre . "
";
	   print "  Track: " .$id3v1->track . "
";

	   # or at once
	   @tagdata = $mp3->all();
	   foreach $tag (@tagdata) {
	       print $tag;
	   }

       * Changing / Writing the tag

	     $id3v1->comment("This is only a Test Tag");
	     $id3v1->title("testing");
	     $id3v1->artist("Artest");
	     $id3v1->album("Test it");
	     $id3v1->year("1965");
	     $id3v1->track("5");
	     $id3v1->genre("Blues");
	     # or at once
	     $id3v1->all("song title","artist","album","1900","comment",10,"Ska");
	     $id3v1->write_tag();

       * Removing the tag from the file

	     $id3v1->remove_tag();

DESCRIPTION

       title(), artist(), album(), year(), comment(), track(), genre()
	     $artist  = $id3v1->artist;
	     $artist  = $id3v1->artist($artist);
	     $album   = $id3v1->album;
	     $album   = $id3v1->album($album);
	     $year    = $id3v1->year;
	     $year    = $id3v1->year($year);
	     $comment = $id3v1->comment;
	     $comment = $id3v1->comment($comment);
	     $track   = $id3v1->track;
	     $track   = $id3v1->track($track);
	     $genre   = $id3v1->genre;
	     $genre   = $id3v1->genre($genre);

	   Use these functions to retrieve the date of these fields, or to set the data.

	   $genre can be a string with the name of the genre, or a number describing the genre.

       all()
	     @tagdata = $id3v1->all;
	     @tagdata = $id3v1->all($title, $artist, $album, $year, $comment, $track, $genre);

	   Returns all information of the tag in a list.  You can use this sub also to set the data of the complete tag.

	   The order of the data is always title, artist, album, year, comment, track, and  genre.  genre has to be a string with the name of the
	   genre, or a number identifying the genre.

       fits_tag()
	     warn "data truncated" unless $id3v1->fits_tag($hash);

	   Check whether the info in ID3v1 tag fits into the format of the file.

       as_bin()
	     $str = $id3v1->as_bin();

	   Returns the ID3v1 tag as a string.

       write_tag()
	     $id3v1->write_tag();

	     [old name: writeTag() . The old name is still available, but you should use the new name]

	   Writes the ID3v1 tag to the file.

       remove_tag()
	     $id3v1->remove_tag();

	   Removes the ID3v1 tag from the file.  Returns negative on failure, FALSE if no tag was found.

	   (Caveat: only one tag is removed; some - broken - files may have many chain-loaded one after another; you may need to call remove_tag()
	   in a loop to handle such beasts.)

	   [old name: removeTag() . The old name is still available, but you should use the new name]

       genres()
	     @allgenres = $id3v1->genres;
	     $genreName = $id3v1->genres($genreID);
	     $genreID	= $id3v1->genres($genreName);

	   Returns a list of all genres, or the according name or id to a given id or name.

       new()
	     $id3v1 = MP3::Tag::ID3v1->new($mp3fileobj[, $create]);

	   Generally called from MP3::Tag, because a $mp3fileobj is needed.  If $create is true, a new tag is created. Otherwise undef is
	   returned, if now ID3v1 tag is found in the $mp3obj.

	   Please use

	      $mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);
	      $id3v1 = $mp3->new_tag("ID3v1");	   # Empty new tag

	   or

	      $mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);
	      $mp3->get_tags();
	      $id3v1 = $mp3->{ID3v1};		   # Existing tag (if present)

	   instead of using this function directly
