mid3v2(1) General Commands Manual mid3v2(1)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.

Hey,
Just added a new UserCP option so you can change the code tags to look like the code tags in this example (turn this on and off):
Note: I set the default to "SyntaxHighlighting" for debugging purposes. We can change the default back to the original code tags later.
