Manage MP3 ID3 tag information from the command line - Mac OS X Hints

Manage MP3 ID3 tag information from the command line - Mac OS X Hints: "I hate when I download MP3's (which I of course have copyright permission for ;) and they don't have ID3 tag info. Also, as I am a unix geek, I hate anything I can't script at a command line. Therefore, I had to find a command-line tool to edit and display ID3 info. In my travels, I finally came upon id3tool. Admittedly, there probably are a lot of other tools, but this one was pretty darn easy. I downloaded the source, and used the standard ./configure, make, sudo make install and had it running in less than a minute (I have the latest Dev Tools installed, BTW). I'll e-mail the author and see if he's OK with me posting a binary to my website for this; if so and if anyone's interested, please make it known in the comments here."

So Download id3tool, open a terminal on your mac (macos 10), go to the id3tool folder and type the above commands : ./configure, make, sudo make install...

After that cd to the folder where your mp3 files are.

To change the album name type the following command:

id3tool -a 'Album Name' *.mp3

And done.

Thanks id3tool !!!
