mp3tag - view and manipulate ID3v1 tags.

mp3tag was written by Bram Avontuur <bram@avontuur.org>.

       This manual page  was  written  by  Brian  Boucheron  <brian@boucheron.org>,  for  the  Debian  GNU/Linux
       distribution (but may be used by others).

       This  manual  page  briefly  documents  the  mp3tag  command. This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have one.

       mp3tag is a program that allows you to both view and manipulate ID3v1 metadata tags. Running the  command
       with  just  a filename will display the file's current tag. Setting some options will cause the tag to be
       updated and displayed.

       Display foo.mp3's current ID3v1 info:

              mp3tag foo.mp3

       Set foo.mp3's artist to 'Bar', and album to 'Baz':

              mp3tag -a Bar -l Baz foo.mp3

       Set foo.mp3's year to 2001, merging it with any tag already present:

              mp3tag -y 2001 -r foo.mp3

       -ggenre
              Set the genre to genre. This is a single integer with a value of 0 to  254  corresponding  to  the
