ID3.py

ID3.py is a Python module designed for handling ID3 tags on MP3 files. This tool is aimed at individuals who need to manipulate these informational tags, allowing them to do so in an easy and efficient manner. It should be noted that this is the first Python script written by the creator, and therefore it may contain some mistakes.

ID3.py has full support for ID3 version 1.1, which includes the track numbering field. Although the creator does not have plans to add compatibility for ID3v2 1(), he encourages others to contribute and add that functionality if they so choose.

Installation of the ID3.py module is simple. Users can either copy the ID3.py file to their site-wide Python module installation directory, such as /usr/local/lib/python/site-python, or use the python setup.py install command if they have Python v1.6 or later.

In the latest release of ID3.py, users can enjoy a new dictionary-based interface that is compatible with ogg.vorbis module. Additionally, the default genre will be 255 if not specified, rather than "Blues" (which was the previous default). Finally, the creator rewrote id3-tagger.py to use the new dictionary-based interface, which has simplified the code significantly.

Overall, ID3.py is a simple and effective tool for manipulating ID3 tags on MP3 files. With its recent updates, this module has become even more user-friendly and efficient.
