ID3CONVERT(1)

🎀 ID3CONVERT(1) 🎀

okay so this is the id3convert manual (User Command section, bestie 💅), and it's all about converting tags on mp3 files 🎶

✨ NAME ✨

id3convert - Converts between id3v1 and id3v2 tags of an mp3 file. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

id3convert [ OPTION ] [ FILE ]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so id3convert converts between id3v1 and id3v2 tags of an mp3 file. it's giving format-shifter energy ✨

by default it renders both tag types 🌈 but here's the tea: only the last tag type you list in the options is the one that gets used 👀

anything that doesn't get rendered just stays exactly as it was in the original file. no cap, it's untouched 🫶

it also knows how to parse and convert Lyrics3 v2.0 frames 🎵 but it won't render them, so those stay as they are too 🙈

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -1, --v1tag — render only the id3v1 tag 🍓
• -2, --v2tag — render only the id3v2 tag 🧚
• -s, --strip — strip the tags instead of rendering them 💀
• -p, --padding — use padding in the tag 🫧
• -h, --help — display help and exit 💅
• -v, --version — display version information and exit ⭐
