ID3EncodingConverter is a tool for viewing ID3 tags and converting character sets. It's a straightforward program that supports multiple encodings.
Often, music tags can be encoded in ID3v1 without specifying the encoding used. This can create problems when trying to view or convert the tags, as it is difficult to guess what encoding was used. ID3EncodingConverter solves this problem by showing both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags side by side, letting you copy the converted tags to ID3v2 once you have selected the correct encoding.
The tool also highlights differences between the two versions of the tags using red color coding, so you can avoid overwriting conflicting entries. Some key features of the software include batch conversion of multiple files, intelligent guessing of encoding, and automatic conversion mode, making it easy to use.
To use ID3EncodingConverter, you will need several requirements, including PyQt, Python programming language, Qt4 Cross-Platform GUI and Framework, KDE4 libraries, TagLib Audio Meta-Data Library, and TagPy Python bindings for TagLib.
In the latest release of ID3EncodingConverter, more functions have been completed, and some packaging issues have been fixed, making it an even more effective and user-friendly tool. Overall, if you are looking for a simple and effective ID3 tag viewer and converter, ID3EncodingConverter might be worth checking out.
