My favorite tool for batch editing of vorbis comments is vorbistagedit. I can do vorbistagedit *.ogg and it lets me edit the metadata in all my ogg files at once in my favorite editor (emacs). I'm wondering if there is a tool that works in a similar fashion for id3 tags? I could see it opening up a file that looked something like: : file1.mp3 + file1.mp3 TIT2=Title TPE1=Artist TALB=Album : file2.mp3 + file3.mp3 ... And I could add/edit tags as I see fit, and when I close out the $EDITOR, it writes the tags back to the files. It wouldn't have to work exactly like that, but I think that would be my ideal. Anything would be easier than a bunch of BASH for loops with id3v2. If nothing like it exists, I might end up writing my own that uses the eyeD3 library. And please don't bother suggesting EasyTag. It's a great program, but I'm looking for something that doesn't require a GUI. **P.S.** For those who don't want to bother reading the comments below, I simply modified vorbistagedit to support id3 tags in mp3 files. The modified script can be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/goodevilgenius/tagedit) .
