Question

There are various command line tools available for editing metadata of audio files. But none of them can edit “Album artist” tag of the audio file. Is there any command line tool or perl module to do the same ? Thanks

Answer 1

MP3::Tag support it.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use MP3::Tag;

$mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);
$mp3->new_tag("ID3v2");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->add_frame("TALB", "Album title");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->add_frame("TPE2", "Album artist");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->write_tag;
$mp3->close();

or

#!/usr/bin/perl

use MP3::Tag;

$mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);
$mp3->select_id3v2_frame_by_descr('TPE2', 'album artist'); # Edit in memory
$mp3->update_tags(); # commit
$mp3->close();
