Taged is a command line tool designed for modifying and creating ID3 data commonly found in .mp3 files.
I recently had the chance to try taged, a commandline utility that can modify or create ID3 data in .mp3 files. As a software designed to handle regular expression matching of tag data from filenames, it allows you to accomplish many complex tasks quickly and without any hassle.
One of the most impressive features of taged is its support of text frames, including artist, title, track number and more. Additionally, taged supports attached pictures, play counters and generated playlists, making it a versatile and efficient tool for music management.
What's more, taged is based on libid3tag from libmad by Robert Leslie, which means that it's powerful and reliable. Plus, it's open source software, licensed with the GNU GPL.
It's worth noting that taged may crash with segmentation faults if you try to render an ID3v1 tag with a text string longer than 30 characters, but this is a bug in the underlying libid3tag library, and patches are available at SourceForge.
To sum it up, taged can handle ID3 tags version 2.4.0, easily rename files based on ID3 data, generate playlists, insert ID3 information based on filename using regular expressions, and supports play counters, pictures, and any text frame. In the latest release, makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST) now includes config.rpath for improved functionality.
Overall, I found taged to be a great tool for anyone who wants to automate the process of manipulating ID3 data. Its impressive feature-set and ease of use make it a software worth trying.
