ID3-AutoGen

A program for generating ID3v1 tags from an MP3 filename.

For example, the file "MyBand0815 - Freaking Great Song.mp3" would result in a ID3v1 tag with "MyBand0815" in the 'artist' field and "Freaking Great Song" in the 'title' field.

  DIR (pos. 0)     Required. Directory which contains the MP3 files.

Requirements

• .NET Core 3.1 runtime
• 64 bit Operating System
• The filenames have to be in Artist - Title pattern.

Tested on Windows 7 and Debian 11.

Example

ID3-AutoGen -y 2019 -a "Night of the Proms" -c "Live on BR" --verbose --filter (live) D:\Music

This will process all .mp3 files in the directory D:\Music. The value Night of the Proms will be used as content for the album tag and 2019 for the year tag; the comment tag will contain Live on BR. This will be used on all files processed. The command will list all tags on all files due to --verbose. The text "(live)" will be filtered out of the artist and title tag, if the filename does contain it.
