tagging mp3s

March 22nd, 2005 | No Comments | Posted in Bash

Final installment of the podcast bash script for a while. I will eventually add the ability to auto-sync with my iPod, but I'm still undecided at which command line iPod tools I want to use. Currently gtkpod is doing a great job of keeping my iPod fed, and it's simple to load it up, add my podcast folder and sync. gtkpod weeds out the dupes and automatically transfers just what's needed.

I'm just going to describe the tagmp3 function, much like I did for the updated getmp3 function last time. Read the script to see how I hook the tagmp3 function into getmp3. It could all us a bit more error handling, but it works well enough now to be useful.

I am using id3v2 from here. It is easy to compile and only has one dependency, id3lib. I'm using the id3lib and id3lib-devel RPMs for FC3 from FreshRPMs.
