MP3TAG LINUX FULL
A full list of available options for the TYPE is available in the help section of eyeD3. The player borrows its layout from iTunes.

According to the site, Julian wrote Cozy on Fedora and optimized it for elementary OS. It is built using both Python and GTK+ 3. In addition to the path to the image, we also need to specify the TYPE of the image, which we set as FRONT_COVER. The Cozy Audiobook Player is created by Julian Geywitz from Germany. Changing Album ArtworkĮyeD3 also lets us change the album artwork using the –add-image flag: $ eyeD3 -add-image art.jpg:FRONT_COVER my_music_file.mp3įRONT_COVER Image: To change the recording date with eyeD3, we can use the –recording-date flag. On the contrary, the -y flag of the id3v2 command had set the recording date field. We must also note that the -Y flag set the release date and original release date fields with the value 2000 when we used the eyeD3 command. The command replaces the metadata with the new data we provided and prints the corresponding output. We used the flags -a for the artist’s name, -A for the album name, -t for the track title, -n for the track number, and -Y for the year.

Now, we can change each of these fields using the corresponding argument flags: $ eyeD3 -a "Linkin Park" -A "Hybrid Theory" -t "In The End" -n 8 -Y 2000 my_music_file.mp3 The command prints the metadata we had set using the id3v2 command earlier. Later, by running the command with the list flag ( -l), we see that all the field updates we made are reflected in the metadata.
MP3TAG LINUX UPDATE
In the first command above, we used multiple flags to update multiple fields, i.e., -t for the track title, -A for the album name, -T for the track number, and -y for the recording year. TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): My Favorite Album TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): My Favorite Song Title : My Favorite Song Artist: My Favorite ArtistĪlbum : My Favorite Album Year: 2002, Genre: Unknown (255) We can also use multiple flags in the command to update multiple fields at once: $ id3v2 -t "My Favorite Song" -A "My Favorite Album" -T 1 -y 2002 my_music_file.mp3 We see that the artist name we supplied has been updated. TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): My Favorite Artist Once we’ve made the edit, we can use the id3v2 command again to check the new metadata: $ id3v2 -l my_music_file.mp3 Let’s try this: $ id3v2 -a "My Favorite Artist" my_music_file.mp3 This must be followed by the name/path to the MP3 file. For instance, we’ve to use the -a flag to change the artist’s name.

To add or change a particular field in the metadata, we have to run the command with the appropriate flag and the new value.
