Greetings everyone,

here's a question that's been troubling me for some time now...

(I googled and checked the documentation too..)

How to modify FLAC's tags (artist, title, etc.) using the command line tool?

I know there's the "-T "artist=Artist", .... option, but it seems it's ment only for encoding from wav...

so, flac -T "artist=Artist" myFlac.flac
results in a error message that the file already exist

any suggestions?

Use metaflac.exe.

I just gave this link out about an hour ago...
http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_...s_metaflac.html

thnx for responding greynol, i checked out the metaflac documentation and only option that could be used is --set-tag=FIELD

so if anyone else has the dilema, here's a simple usage example:

first you have to remove all tags (because if you set-tag artist and if it's already set, your just going to add a double which won't do the desired effect)



then, modify the artist tag (for example)

p.s. you can do it all at once which may be faster in some cases, commands are processed in order:


a --replace-tag option would be useful, I'll probably add that.
