Kid3 Tag Editor Mac Download
Chrystal Imaizumi
A few months ago, I set out to finally clean up and organize my music library.My goal was to get rid of all the random files, and ensure that every item wasproperly tagged so that it would accurately self-organize in the music players Iuse. This would not have been possible without the open source tool,kid3.
In the past, I used a tool called easytag to edit the metadata of my files.However, after not being able to initially find it (I had the wrong name ?), Istarted to look for a new tool. I needed something easy to use, as I did notwant to waste a bunch of time learning a complicated new tool. After verylittle searching, I found kid3.
After using kid3 it for a bit, I fell into a workflow that made the tedious taskof grouping multiple files into single albums easier to manage. Specifically, Ilearned that I could select multiple files, and edit a field to apply to all ofthe selected items at one time. Using this technique, I was able to write theartist, album, and year only once, instead of 10+ times for each album. Thismade it much more efficient than methods I had previously used while editingmetadata.
I'm trying to tag some mp3 and ogg files from the windows command prompt. However, I need to do the files one at a time. Try as I might, I can't seem to get the right syntax. I'm using kid3-cli, but I'd be willing to use something else. It just has to run on Windows command line.
kid3-cli -c 'set title "Two words"' -c 'set artist "mighty cpa"' -c 'set album "up"' -c 'set comment "now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their countrymen"' -c 'set date 2014' -c 'set track 12345' -c 'set genre "complete"' -c 'set picture "/path/to/x12345.jpg"' -c 'set encoded-by "blahblah"' -c 'set Website " "' audio.mp3
Mightcpa's answer is largely correct but it may assist others if I make explicit three details in respect of the set picture command string. I note that my observations were made upon testing on my installation of kid3-cli version 3.9.3 on a Windows 10 desktop so the differences (given the passage of time) could be version related.
I figured out that this program (puddletag) just had access problems- it seems, that the program can not handle NTFS partitions or idk... now I'm using (a for me better mp3 tag editor) kid3 and there are no problems- easy accessing all drives and all folders. Perfect :)
Well at last! I think this might solve my issues. I compared 4 audiobooks Get Info lists and noticed that the book that is in the Unknow folder did not have an Album name. So in the kid3 app I added that. I also changed the Genre to Audiobook, although when I checked Get Info it is still listed as Musical Genre: Fiction.
