metamp3 ~ mp3 Command Line Utility

Posted by tom2tec on

I wrote this because I wanted a command line tool that could
add album art to (and save from) mp3 files, compute replaygain
and save them as ID3 tags (readable by Winamp, etc).

Features:

  • Write (all) Text, URL and Picture frame tags, with description.
  • Compute replay-gain values and set them as ID3v2.3 tags.
  • Apply and Undo volume gain (as mp3gain).
  • Extract pictures from mp3 files.
  • Inspect ID3 v1.1, v2.3, and v2.4 tags.
  • Inspect detailed info on mp3 files, including lametag data.

  1. Great to see metamp3 getting some love here! It’s still one of the fastest ways to handle ReplayGain and ID3v2.3 tags without a bulky GUI. I’ve been using it for batch processing my library for years. For anyone who finds the command line a bit intimidating for quick one-off edits though, I usually keep editmp3tags.com bookmarked as a backup. It’s handy when you just want to fix a single file’s metadata in the browser without firing up the terminal.
