Command Line Interface

positional arguments:
  folder                Folder to process. By default current folder.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --suffix SUFFIX, -s SUFFIX
                        Files suffix. By default mp3
  --encoding ENCODING, -e ENCODING
                        mp3 tags encoding. "none" if you do not need mp3 tags encoding fix. By default "cp1251".
  --tag [SET_TAG ...], -t [SET_TAG ...]
                        Change mp3 tag to specified string. Format "tag-name/tag-value".
  --num TRACK_NUM, -n TRACK_NUM
                        Sort files and set mp3 tag `track_num`:
                          --num="name" - sort by names;
                          --num="tag-<TAG>" - sort by mp3 tag with name <TAG>.
                            For example to sort by title tag use --num="tag-title".
  --prefix TITLE_PREFIX, -p TITLE_PREFIX
                        Add prefix to title tags. By default `{track:04} - ` if `--num` and no prefix if not.
  --dry, -d             Dry run without changing files.

Example:

audiobook-tags --tag="album_artist/Юрий Заборовский (Ардис)" --num="name" --prefix=""

• converts all mp3 files in current folder and subfolders
• fix encoding supposing that original encoding was Windows 1251
• change tag album artist.
• set track_num mp3 tag to file number as ordered by file name. But do not add the track number to the title (--prefix=""").
