If you run "file" on each file, it will tell you which, e.g. if ID3v2.3 is in the file: k$ file ~/mp3/foobar.mp3 mp3/foobar.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding Or for ID3v2.4 you will see: Audio file with ID3 version 24.0 tag, MP3 encoding I believe that it is possible to only have one ID3v2 tag per file, although you may have both ID3v1 and ID3v2. If you have id3lib installed you can run: $ id3info foobar.mp3 to get the tag information, although it will only show tags <= ID3v2.3 (not ID3v2.4). Yes, ID3 is messy... ;) Alex _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
