💖 MP3RENAME(1) 💖

okay bestie, listen — this is the User Commands girlie of the manual world, and her name is mp3rename ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mp3rename — rename mp3 files based on id3tags 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mp3rename [OPTION ...] [FILE ...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so mp3rename is this tiny lil tool whose whole personality is renaming badly named mp3 files 🎀

the file name it generates can be based on the id3tags, title, album, year, track and/or artist. mix and match, main character energy, yk? 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -f — force a non-id3 rename. no id3tags? we're doing it anyway 🫶
  • -v — verbose mode. she will tell you everything, and honestly? obsessed 😭
  • -h — display this help message.
  • -b — limit the file size to 32 chars. keep it cute, keep it short ✨
  • -i — only show the id3tags. just peeking, no touching 🙈
  • -p — pad the track number with a leading zero when less than 10. so 1 becomes 01, iconic behaviour 🎀
  • -a — ask everything for the id3tag. full interrogation era, bestie 🕵️
  • -s — set the default look of the file. available placeholders are:
    • &t — song title.
    • &b — album name.
    • &y — album year.
    • &k — track number.
    • &a — artist.
the information is saved in ~/.mp3rename 💾

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

mp3rename -s '(&a)-&t-&b'
