![]() ![]() To use it as a post processor in Streamrecorder.NET for the purpose I mentioned above, enter -e in its arguments field. It’s basically a command-line wrapper over TagLib#, supporting most of its cross-format tagging options. I haven’t seen anything for Linux and Mac as well, though I was less thorough in my search there. The solution appeared simple enough, just strip the WMA tag information from the file, right? Sure, but the only problem is that to the best of my knowledge, for around 10 years there hasn’t been a single windows command-line tool that is able to edit (or even display) WMA metadata. This means that when I open this folder in my favorite audio player, all the files display as _Some station – Some station _which is pretty annoying. ![]() However, this radio station (and I suspect many others) has the nasty habit of changing the Title and Artist tags to the station’s name. Now, the file names are timestamped, which means I can easily tell the date of each show. Using Streamrecorder.NET, I’ve scheduled a weekly recording and so I have a folder filled with them. Sometimes the radio shows I record are streamed in WMA format. Like I mentioned a couple of times, I like listening to and recording internet radio. You can attach album art, add new or modify existing tags, and of course is easily scriptable.Tagger# – command-line media tagger based on TagLib# Not only does it support v2.4 tags but it also provides a very clean display of current tags using color and bold text. The lack of 2.4 support plagues most of them, with the exception of eyeD3. There are also a slew of command line tag editors each with their own strengths and weaknesses. You can add and remove tools via the New and Remove buttons next the tools list. The first ten tools can also be started by the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + 1 to Ctrl + 0. You can clear all tags (be careful), and automatically populate tags from CDDB sources such as, , and . Mp3tag allows the configuration of external applications as tools that can be accessed from the context menu of the File List. Other useful features include the ability to perform bulk file and directory renaming based on the tag data, or even set the tags based on the directory and file naming convention. Here’s a couple screenshots of the main user interface. It’s easy to get a bit overwhelmed with all the options EasyTag has to offer, but the defaults are typically safe to use. Personally, I also remove the option to save ID3v1.x tags. Uncheck the “ Automatically convert old ID3v2 tag versions” option if you would like to stop that behavior. If you have a player that is not compatible with 2.4 tags, then this is the place to change it back to v2.3. This behavior can be adjusted from “Settings… Preferences… ID3 Tag Settings”. This is because by default EasyTag writes both v1.1 and v2.4 tags to files it touches, and will attempt to automatically upgrade all v2.3 tags it has scanned. Some often wonder why on first launch that all of their tracks are highlighted in red and why it keeps prompting them to save changes that they didn’t make. In my experience, EasyTag is the most versatile tag editor available. For quickly identifying, converting and stripping unwanted tags, I use a python based command line application called eyeD3. EasyTag by far is the easiest and probably the most popular graphical MP3 tag editors available, and I use it a great deal for a majority of my MP3 tagging and renaming functions. There’s a number of MP3 tag editors available for the Linux platform, but there are two I use exclusively. Posted by admin on Junder Tech Tips | Be the First to Comment ![]()
