Any suggestions for a tool to edit id3v2 tags on mp3 files from the command line? (I want to read and write id3v2 tags from a script.)
For flac, metaflac is dead simple and does what I want. I can't believe that I can't find a good solution for mp3s. (The much more popular format, even?) I primarily work in Ruby, so I first turned up mp3info, but it only works with a fixed set of tags. (I want to be able to write arbitrary tags, like 'rating', etc.) mp3taglib also looked promising, but I couldn't get it to compile against Ruby 1.8.2. id3lib used to have a COM interface which would have been great, but it's discontinued... the id3v2 tool (which also uses id3lib) would also be perfect, but I can't find any Windows binaries, and the source uses 'getopt.h' which would be a pain to replicate on Windows. I'm now considering shelling out from Ruby to Perl to get what I want, which seems insane. I can't believe it's this hard! Any pointers appreciated.
