EasyTAG
Actually with EasyTAG you do not need to set (example) the Album name file by file in the same directory.
You can try this:
- Open the EasyTAG and navigate to the folder you want.
- Select all the files with Ctrl+A.
- Write the Album Name.
- Click in the checkbox to apply the same Album name to all the selected files.
- Save the changes to all the selected files.
id3tool
Another option could be id3tool
id3tool is a command line utility for easy manipulation of the ID3
tags present in MPEG Layer 3 audio files.
id3tool is a fully GPL'd program. Warm-fuzzy's are 100% optional.
To install it.
sudo apt-get install id3tool
You can go to your folder eg:
cd ~/Music/test-2013/
I can list the tags in all the mp3 files with:
id3tool *.mp3
Example:
Filename: 01-track.mp3
Song Title: track1
Artist: Test-Artist
Album: Test-Album
Note:
Track: 1
Year: 2013
Genre: Jazz (0x8)
Filename: 02-track.mp3
Song Title: track2
Artist: Test-Artist
Album: Test-Album
Note: 0
Track: 2
Year: 2013
Genre: Jazz (0x8)
Filename: 03-track.mp3
Song Title: track3
Artist: Test-Artist
Album: Test-Album
Note: 0
Track: 3
Year: 2013
Genre: Jazz (0x8)
I can change the Album Name to all the mp3 files with:
id3tool -a Test-Album-id3tool *.mp3
Now I have:
Filename: 01-track.mp3
Song Title: track1
Artist: Test-Artist
Album: Test-Album-id3tool
Note:
Track: 1
Year: 2013
Genre: Jazz (0x8)
