mp3unicode
MP3Unicode is a command line
utility to convert ID3 tags in mp3 files between different encodings.
In order to see the available encodings execute:
- -s, --source-encoding <encoding>
- Read current mp3 tags assuming they are encoded with <encoding>.
<encoding> is either "unicode" or any valid 8bit
encoding.
- -1, --id3v1-encoding <encoding>
- Write id3v1 tag in <encoding>, if <encoding> is
"none", then strip id3v1 tag away. <encoding> may be any
valid 8bit encoding, note however that it is not possible to write id3v1
in Unicode.
- -2, --id3v2-encoding <encoding>
- Write id3v2 tag in <encoding>, if <encoding> is
"none", then strip id3v2 tag away. <encoding> may be
either "unicode" or any valid 8bit encoding.
- -p, --preserve-unicode
- If source encoding is specified to be some specific encoding and not
Unicode, but the actual encoding seems to be Unicode, then assume it is
Unicode. E.g., if you want to process a lot of files, some of which are in
Unicode (or have Unicode characters somewhere), but some are in cp1251,
just issue -s cp1251 -p along with other options. This should work as you
would like it to work.
- -w, --preview
- Do not modify the files, instead show the tags that would be written.
Useful to test specified options for correctness.
- -v, --version
- Prints version number, compilation date and time.
- -q, --quiet
- Do not report what files have been processed.
mp3unicode --source-encoding cp1251
--id3v1-encoding none
--id3v2-encoding unicode
file.mp3
will read id3v2 tag (or id3v1 tag if there is no id3v2) from the
file, convert the text fields in the tag from cp1251 to Unicode and will
write id3v2 tag back, stripping away id3v1 tag.
