mid3cp1
Copy id3 tags
Usage
mid3cp [options]
source
dest
Overview
mid3cp copies the ID3 tags from a source file to a destination file.
It is designed to provide similar functionality to id3lib's id3cp tool, and can optionally write ID3v1 tags. It can also exclude specific tags from being copied.
Options
-
--verbose, -v -
Be verbose: state all operations performed, and list tags in source file.
-
--write-v1 -
Write ID3v1 tags to the destination file, derived from the ID3v2 tags.
-
--exclude-tag, -x -
Exclude a specific tag from being copied. Can be specified multiple times.
-
--merge -
Copy over frames instead of replacing the whole ID3 tag. The tag version of dest will be used. In case dest has no ID3 tag this option has no effect.
