Lemures Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Ive done some searching, and it looks like there havent been many recent things on id3 tag editing for autoit. I either need to figure out how to do such a thing with autoit, or find a really good id3 tag editor. I just got a new job where i literally stand in one place for 12 hours. I am allowed to listen to music, so i bought an ipod. I already had a few audiobooks on my computer, but now im hitting a problem. Say it has 50 chapters. The chapters will play like this: 1, 10, 11, 12, ... 18, 19, 2, 20, 21 ... 28, 29, 3, 30, 31... and so on. this is quite annoying. Also, say i have a folder of a certain artist. Everybody i have gotten the songs from has added their own little flair to the id3 tags, so i end up with 20 different albums/artists for 20 different songs. I want it all to be just one thing, and it would be really nice if i could make or have an id3 tag editor that would just go through and change the, say, artist id3 tag field to the name of the folder that the song is in. Is there any hope of adding id3 tag editing functionality into autoit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefhal Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Is there any hope of adding id3 tag editing functionality into autoit?Here's a link to a vbs document to extract the ID tag info from mp3 files. Perhaps someone with cross-technology knowledge can do some magic? vbs to read id tags Edited October 2, 2005 by jefhal ...by the way, it's pronounced: "JIF"...

System Tester Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hi All, Sorry to drag this one up from the past, but I found a solution, Doesn't involve AutoIT, but it does work. I too am an audio book addict, so it's vital to get the tracks in the right order. Using CDEX to rip the CDs to MP3s, there is an option to add an offset to the track number. (so all the tracks accross multiple CDs have consequtive track numbers) Also, it's possible to name the files using this track id. >> options >> settings >> Filenames %1\%2\%1-%2-%3 %1=artist %2=album %3=trackid So, As you have the original CDs (you didn't of course download anything, did you?) you can recreate the MP3s with fully correct ID3 tags & filenames. :-) The AutoIt help file should be interrogated.The Editor should be SciTe.The forums should have been searched.

joeyb1275 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I am working on an Autoit solution to this. I have an ID3 version 1 and 2 Tag reader and I'm working on a tag writer for this. I will post the UDF and an example script under example scripts once I get enough posts to become a full member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 anything that can do the writer part? I'm having to do it by hand. I have one audio book that has 380 files to it. I've searched a good bit, and I can't find what I need. I'm looking for something that I can write the ID3 tags, and put them in sequence. If someone had a way to write to the ID3 via command line, I could make a script to do the rest.

therks Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Not an AutoIt solution, but for all my ID3 needs, I use this program: http://www.xdlab.ru/en/ My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I've already ripped the files to MP3. will it allow me to redo the ID3 stuff? The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therks Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I used it exclusively to re-tag a bunch of mp3's I had. I didn't like the way they had been tagged. My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTA Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 There is a commandline tool available which will do that:http://home.wanadoo.nl/squell/id3.htmlFor change of album title in ID3v1-Tag ShellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "id3.exe", "-1 -l TestalbumV1 " & """" & $Filename & """", @ScriptDir, "open", @SW_HIDE) ; For change of album title in ID3v2-Tag ShellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "id3.exe", "-2 -l TestalbumV2 " & """" & $Filename & """", @ScriptDir, "open", @SW_HIDE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
