Usage ===== eyeD3 [OPTS] file [file...] Options ======= --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit Tag Versions ------------ -1, --v1 Only read/write ID3 v1.x tags. By default, v1.x tags are only read if there is not a v2.x tag. -2, --v2 Only read/write ID3 v2.x tags. --to-v1.1 Convert the file's tag to ID3 v1.1. (Or 1.0 if there is no track number.) --to-v2.3 Convert the file's tag to ID3 v2.3 --to-v2.4 Convert the file's tag to ID3 v2.4 Tag Data -------- -a STRING, --artist=STRING Set artist -A STRING, --album=STRING Set album -t STRING, --title=STRING Set title -n NUM, --track=NUM Set track number -N NUM, --track-total=NUM Set total number of tracks -G GENRE, --genre=GENRE Set genre. The argument is a valid genre string or number. See --list-genres -Y STRING, --year=STRING Set a four digit year. -c [LANGUAGE]:[DESCRIPTION]:COMMENT, --comment=[LANGUAGE]:[DESCRIPTION]:COMMENT Set comment -L [LANGUAGE]:[DESCRIPTION]:LYRICS, --lyrics=[LANGUAGE]:[DESCRIPTION]:LYRICS Set lyrics -p STRING, --publisher=STRING Set the publisher/label text --remove-comments Remove all comment frames. --remove-lyrics Remove all lyrics frames. --add-image=IMG_PATH:TYPE[:DESCRIPTION] Add an image to the tag. The description and type optional, but when used, both ':' delimiters must be present. The type MUST be an string that corresponds to one given with --list-image-types. If the IMG_PATH value is empty the APIC frame with TYPE is removed. --remove-images Remove all image (APIC) frames. --add-object=OBJ_PATH[:DESCRIPTION[:MIME-TYPE[:FILENAME]] Add an encapsulated object to the tag. The description and filename are optional, but when used, the ':' delimiters must be present. If the OBJ_PATH value is empty the GEOB frame with DESCRIPTION is removed. -i DIR, --write-images=DIR Causes all attached images (APIC frames) to be written to the specified directory. -o DIR, --write-objects=DIR Causes all attached objects (GEOB frames) to be written to the specified directory. --set-text-frame=FID:TEXT Set the value of a text frame. To remove the frame, specify an empty value. e.g., --set-text-frame="TDRC:" --set-user-text-frame=DESC:TEXT Set the value of a user text frame (i.e., TXXX). To remove the frame, specify an empty value. e.g., --set- user-text-frame="SomeDesc:" --set-url-frame=FID:URL Set the value of a URL frame. To remove the frame, specify an empty value. e.g., --set-url-frame="WCOM:" --set-user-url-frame=DESC:URL Set the value of a user URL frame (i.e., WXXX).
