Simple Free Open Source MP3 CLI Tag Editor

There are lots of mp3 tag editors out there, but I wanted a simpler cross platform solution. This cli runs on Mac, Windows and Linux and offers a minimalist quick way to make bulk changes.

To make a changes, you have a variety of flags that you can use. The --clear flag processes first and will remove all ID3 tags. Then any set flags will apply afterwards.

mp3edit --clear --artist="Use Quotes with Spaces" --title First filename.mp3

1 filename.mp3
  Title:  Previous title
          New

          Use Quotes with Spaces

Future Ideas

1. I would like to somehow integrate in a music database lookup so you can just enable a flag like --autofix and let it unify your mp3 files for you. I would like to make sure it has an easy undo when it mismatches.
2. I want to get this so you can do an apt-get install mp3edit or yum install mp3edit
