Hi,
I want to use abcde to encode my CD's into flac first and then into mp3, using lame.
flac encoding works fine, but when I try to encode into mp3, I get the following error:

abcde error: id3v2 is not in your path

which is true ;-)

Where can I get an appropiate version of id3v2 for macintosh (commandline) ? I actually though that that's already kind of integrated in lame, but apparently it isn't.

Thanks for your help

Get it here and compile it yourself or modify abcde to use LAME's tagging routines.

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded id3v2 and id3lib (a pre-requisite), but the compilation of id3lib failed with the following error:

Has anyone suceeded in compiling id3lib on Mac OS X?
Or how would I configure abcde to use lame's internal tagging instead?

Thanks.

I believe you're going to need to get the newer files from the ID3v2 CVS and replace the files in your current directory. The id3v2-0.1.11 release appears it was finalized 2004-05-04

(Thanks, btw. I've been looking for a Win32 CLI tagger that will write ID3v2(.3) for a while. )

Edit:
I came across this while searching google for other command line id3v2 programs for *nix or Win32.
