✨ NAME ✨

mid3iconv — ok bestie, it converts ID3 tag encodings 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mid3iconv [options] filename ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕: mid3iconv takes your ID3 tags that are stuck in some legacy encoding (iykyk, the crusty old ones) and converts them to Unicode, then stores them using the ID3v2 format. Glow-up complete, no cap. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --debug, -d — prints the updated tags for you, so you can see the before/after of it all 👀
  • --dry-run, -p — does not actually modify any files. Just vibes, no consequences 🫶
  • --encoding, -e — convert from this encoding. By default, your locale's default encoding is used, periodt.
  • --force-v1 — use an ID3v1 tag even if an ID3v2 tag is present. Yes, even then. It's giving stubborn 💀
  • --quiet, -q — only output errors. Silent treatment, but make it useful 🙈
  • --remove-v1 — removes any ID3v1 tag after processing the files. Bye bestie, you will not be missed 🎀
