About:
eyeD3 is a Python tool and library for reading and writing ID3 metadata in MP3 files. It provides a command-line interface to manipulate tags such as title, artist, album, and album art. The tool is designed for automation and scriptability, making it ideal for batch processing large music collections.

Key Features:

Read and write ID3 v2.3 and v2.4 tags
Support for manipulating album art and lyrics
Scriptable Python API for automation
Command-line interface for batch processing

Use Cases:

Standardizing metadata in a personal music library
Embedding album art for media players
Automated tagging of downloaded audio files via scripts

Alternatives:

id3v2 – A C-based CLI tool focused solely on tag editing, whereas eyeD3 offers a Python API and broader format support.
beets – A full music library manager that uses plugins (including eyeD3) for tagging, rather than being a standalone tag editor.
