Command line tool to edit mp3 ID3 tags

Question

I want a simple command line tool running on Windows Xp(or even cross platform) similar in functionality to Mp3tag to edit mp3 ID3 tags. I mostly want to organize my music according to artist , genre etc so a lightweight tool which can ask the user which tag to edit and then change all the mp3 files' tags in a directory will be good. Can I use perl to do this?

Answer 1

I use mpgtx in my Debian, but I see they have a Windows version at http://mpgtx.sourceforge.net/#Download

The commands I use are as follows:

 # Read Tag information from mp3
 mpginfo 05\ Fatty\ Boom\ Boom.mp3

 # Writes album information in mp3
 tagmp3 set "%a:Tension" 05\ Fatty\ Boom\ Boom.mp3

Answer 2

use http://eyed3.nicfit.net/ . it's in python. python works on windows.
