About:
Id3ed is a command-line utility designed for reading and writing ID3 tags in MP3 audio files. It provides a straightforward interface for modifying metadata such as artist, album, and track title without altering the audio data itself. This tool is essential for organizing and managing local music libraries where automated tagging solutions may not be suitable.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Supports reading and writing of ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags
  • Allows modification of standard metadata fields (artist, album, title, etc.)
  • Lightweight and simple to use
Use Cases:
  • Batch updating metadata for a collection of MP3 files
  • Fixing missing or incorrect tags in a music library
  • Embedding metadata into MP3s for better organization
Alternatives:
  • eyeD3 – Python-based tool with extensive features, including support for more complex tag formats.
  • ffmpeg – Multimedia framework that can handle metadata but is much larger and more complex.
