Command line tool to edit mp3 ID3 tags

I want a simple command line tool running on Windows Xp(or even cross platform) similar in fun开发者_JAVA百科ctionality to Mp3tag to edit mp3 ID3 tags. I mostly want to organize my music according to artist , genre etc so a lightweight tool which can ask the user which tag to edit and then change all the mp3 files' tags in a directory will be good. Can I use perl to do this?

use http://eyed3.nicfit.net/ . it's in python. python works on windows.

yes indeed, you can use Perl to do it. (as well as other languages with such modules support). Search CPAN for ID3 tag modules.

Sure you can; see Is there a Perl or Python library for ID3 metadata?.

I use mpgtx in my Debian, but I see they have a Windows version at http://mpgtx.sourceforge.net/#Download

The commands I use are as follows:

 # Read Tag information from mp3
 mpginfo 05\ Fatty\ Boom\ Boom.mp3

 # Writes album information in mp3
 tagmp3 set "%a:Tension" 05\ Fatty\ Boom\ Boom.mp3

I just found the most powerful combination for doing this kind of work from a console: PowerShell and TagLib#.

Found it at http://huddledmasses.org/editing-media-tags-from-powershell/

It works like a charm!

I use BulkID3 for this. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkid3

I don't think it works on Windows, but it's open source.
