Looking for id3v2 tag mp3 write script

[Ysl]

Hi

Can someone help me with a script which will allow me to write the name of a mp3 file to the id3v2 'artist' tag of the same file ?

This is already build in but for id3v1 only....

Thanks for your help

For ID3v2.3?

Get https://github.com/squell/id3/releases/ ... 3-080w.zip

Adapt the path and use:

Code: Select all

    $tool = "D:\Tools\@Command Line Tools\id3\id3.exe";
    end (exists($tool) != 1), "$tool was NOT found, aborted!";

    foreach($file, <get SelectedItemsPathNames |>, , "e") {
        if (exists($file) != 1) { continue; }
        $name = gpc($file, "base");
        status "Processing: " . $name, , "progress";
        $result = runret("""$tool"" -M -a ""$name"" ""$file""", , 65001, 2);
        end ($result), "An error occurred at file: " . $name . ", terminated...";
    }

Thank you for your help

I tried this but it wrote only ID3V1 and the text (file name) is limited to 30 characters..

In my tests it wrote (into existing) id3v2.3 tags.

Try -2 and read the docs.

I didn't test for any length limitation. If it doesn't work try to find a different command line id3 tagger...

E.g. you could build a golang binary with this library: https://github.com/bogem/id3v2

[highend]

This is a binary (64-bit), that uses the library from above.
It can write ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 tags: Album, Artist, Comment, Genre, Title, Year

Code: Select all

Usage:  id3tagger.exe <tag(s)|option(s)> "<mp3 file 1|text file with file(s)>" ["<mp3 file x>"]

        Possible tag(s)   : -album, -artist, -comment, -genre, -title, -year
        Possible option(s): -id3type

        Example: id3tagger.exe -id3type 3 -artist "Adele" -title "Someone like you" "D:\unknown song.mp3"

-id3type can either be 3 (for ID3v2.3) or 4 (for ID3v2.4). 4 is the default.

Multiple files can be tagged at once (with the same tags ofc!) so you could e.g. tag 20 files in one call with the same set of supplied tags.
You can either supply one or multiple mp3 files OR only one text file containing full paths to mp3 files.
This text file must be saved in either UTF-8 or UTF-8 with BOM!

So you could also process 1000 files if you execute something like this (if the .txt file contains 1000 existing mp3 files...):
id3tagger.exe -id3type 4 -genre "Pop" "D:\file with lots of .mp3 files.txt"

Btw, this does need about 4,5 seconds here (modifying 1000 files)...

Use with care! This is not heavily tested but works on my sample files...

A small update to v0.2, it now supports writing comments as well so at least the standard attributes are supported:
Album, Artist, Comment, Genre, Title, Year

Thanks again

I added the -2 but don't know where to put it !
$result = runret("""$tool"" -M -a ""$name"" ""$file""", , 65001, 2) -2;
It works (write into id3v1 & v2 without lenght limitation) BUT after complete I have this message (not a script error message) :

"An error occurred at file xx. terminated..."

[highend]

It's an option for the $tool...

[Ysl]

Sorry, my question is how to get rid of the error message so I can tag a batch of file and don't have to click OK each time

I presume that I have not placed at the right position the -2 you advised me to try

[highend]

$result = runret("""$tool"" -2 -M -a ""$name"" ""$file""", , 65001, 2);

[Ysl]

Perfect !

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
