  13. The id3v2 Tagger

    A command line editor for id3v2 tags.

    I wrote this because id3v1 are seriously deficient in what kind of info can be in them and the length of info that can be in them. id3v2 tags are much better but there isn't a tool to edit them in Linux. This is a tool to fill that space.
