NAME
       mid3v2 - audio tag editor similar to 'id3v2'

SYNOPSIS
       mid3v2 [options] filename ...

DESCRIPTION
       mid3v2  is  a Mutagen-based replacement for id3lib's id3v2. It supports
       ID3v2.4 and more frames; it also does not have the numerous  bugs  that
       plague id3v2.

       This program exists mostly for compatibility with programs that want to
       tag files using id3v2. For a more usable	 interface,  we	 recommend  Ex
       Falso.

OPTIONS
       -q, --quiet
	      Be quiet: do not mention file operations that perform the user's
	      request.	Warnings will still be printed.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose: state all operations performed. This is the opposite
	      of --quiet. This is the default.

       -f, --list-frames
	      Display all supported ID3v2.3/2.4 frames and their meanings.

       -L, --list-genres
	      List  all	 ID3v1	numeric	 genres. These can be used to set TCON
	      frames, but it is not recommended.

       -l, --list
	      List all tags in the files. The output format is not the same as
	      id3v2's;	instead, it is easily parsable and readable. Some tags
	      may not have human-readable representations.

       --list-raw
	      List all tags in the files, in raw format. Although this	format
	      is nominally human-readable, it may be very long if the tag con‐
	      tains embedded binary data.

       -d, --delete-v2
	      Delete ID3v2 tags.

       -s, --delete-v1
	      Delete ID3v1 tags.

       -D, --delete-all
	      Delete all ID3 tags.

       --delete-frames=FID1,FID2,...
	      Delete specific ID3v2 frames (or	groups	of  frames)  from  the
	      files.

       -C, --convert
	      Convert ID3v1 tags to ID3v2 tags. This will also happen automat‐
	      ically during any editing.

       -a, --artist=artist
	      Set the artist information (TPE1).

       -A, --album=album
	      Set the album information (TALB).

       -t, --song=title
	      Set the title information (TIT2).

       -c, --comment=DESCRIPTION:COMMENT:LANGUAGE
	      Set a comment (COMM). The language and description may be	 omit‐
	      ted,  in	which  case  the language defaults to English, and the
	      description to an empty string.

       -g, --genre=genre
	      Set the genre information (TCON).

       -y, --year=, --date=YYYY-[MM-DD]
	      Set the year/date information (TDRC).

       -Tnum/num, --track=num/num
	      Set the track number (TRCK).

       Any text or URL frame (those beginning with T or W) can be modified  or
       added by prefixing the name of the frame with "--". For example, --TIT3
       "Monkey!" will set the TIT3 (subtitle) frame to Monkey!.

BUGS
       No sanity checking is done on the editing operations  you  perform,  so
       mid3v2  will  happily accept --TSIZ when editing an ID3v2.4 frame. How‐
       ever, it will also automatically throw it  out  during  the  next  edit
       operation.

       Joe Wreschnig is the author of mid3v2, but he doesn't like to admit it.
