ID3TAG(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so id3tag 🎀 is the tool that tags an mp3 file with id3v1 and/or id3v2 tags 💖

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

id3tag [ OPTION ]...  [ FILE ]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, listen 🫶 id3tag will render both types of tag by default 😭 but only the last tag type you list in the options is the one that actually gets used, so watch that order 👀

anything that isn't rendered just stays unchanged in the original file, no cap ✨

it will also parse and convert Lyrics3 v2.0 frames 🎶 but it will not render them, so they just get handled quietly in the background 🧚
