## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### GUI
|
|
|
|
|
The GUI should be self-explaining. Just open a file, edit the tags and save the changings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can set the behaviour of the editor to keep previous values, so you don't have to enter
|
|
|
|
|
information like album name or artist for all files in an album again and again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Checkout the settings dialog. You can customize which fields the editor shows,
|
|
|
|
|
change some settings regarding the tags processing (ID3 version, preferred character set, ...) and more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a tool to rename files using the tag information stored in the files. The new name is generated
|
|
|
|
|
by a small JavaScript which can be customized. An example script is provided. Before any changes are made,
|
|
|
|
|
you can checkout a preview with the generated file names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### CLI
|
|
|
|
|
Checkout the available command line options with --help. Here are Bash examples which illustrate
|
|
|
|
|
getting and setting tag information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
tageditor get title album artist --files /some/dir/*.m4a
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
Displays title, album and artist of all *.m4a files in the specified directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
tageditor set "title=Title of "{1st,2nd,3rd}" file" "title=Title of "{4..16}"th file" \
|
|
|
|
|
"album=The Album" "artist=The Artist" \
|
|
|
|
|
cover=/path/to/image track={1..16}/16 --files /some/dir/*.m4a
|
2015-06-21 22:51:25 +02:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
Sets title, album, artist, cover and track number of all *.m4a files in the specified directory.
|
|
|
|
|
The first file will get the name "Title of 1st file", the second file will get the name "Title of 2nd file" and so on.
|
|
|
|
|
The 16th and following files will all get the name "Title of the 16th file". The same scheme is used for the track numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
All files will get the album name "The Album", the artist "The Artist" and the cover image from the file "/path/to/image".
