About

-----

eyeD3_ is a Python tool for working with audio files, specifically MP3 files

containing ID3_ metadata (i.e. song info).



It provides a command-line tool (``eyeD3``) and a Python library

(``import eyed3``) that can be used to write your own applications or

plugins that are callable from the command-line tool.



For example, to set some song information in an mp3 file called

``song.mp3``::



  $ eyeD3 -a Integrity -A "Humanity Is The Devil" -t "Hollow" -n 2 song.mp3



With this command we've set the artist (``-a/--artist``), album

(``-A/--album``), title (``-t/--title``), and track number

(``-n/--track-num``) properties in the ID3 tag of the file. This is the

standard interface that eyeD3 has always had in the past, therefore it

is also the default plugin when no other is specified.



The results of this command can be seen by running the ``eyeD3`` with no

options.



::



  $ eyeD3 song.mp3

  song.mp3	[ 3.06 MB ]

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ID3 v2.4:

  title: Hollow

  artist: Integrity

  album: Humanity Is The Devil

  album artist: None

  track: 2

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------



The same can be accomplished using Python.



::



  import eyed3



  audiofile = eyed3.load("song.mp3")

  audiofile.tag.artist = "Token Entry"

  audiofile.tag.album = "Free For All Comp LP"

  audiofile.tag.album_artist = "Various Artists"

  audiofile.tag.title = "The Edge"

  audiofile.tag.track_num = 3



  audiofile.tag.save()
