    cmdline id3 tag editor

    Anyone able to recommend a good command line id3 tag editor?

    I've got a ton of mp3s wiht missing/bad/weird id3 tags, and my mp3 player only displays title as set by tag. I'd like to just re-tag them all using the file name as the title. Easy enough to do via scripting, but I need a command line id3 tag editor to do it.

    Thanks

    Description: An MP3 technical info viewer and ID3 1.x tag editor
     MP3Info has an interactive mode (using curses) and a command line mode.
     MP3Info can display ID3 tag information as well as various technical aspects
     of an MP3 file including playing time, bit-rate, sampling frequency and other
     attributes in a pre-defined or user-specifiable output format.
     .
     If you prefer GUI you should use mp3info-gtk package.

    There's also id3v2 if you want to edit, err, id3v2 tags. The SF page is here, but it also appears to be in apt.
