(Technically minded question) How do you read/write mp3 tags with the python programming language?

Question

I'm trying to edit the tags of mp3s in my python program. Does anyone know an easy way to do this?

Answer 1

I was just looking at this the other day. There turn out to be quite a few libraries that can do this.

See ID3 handling on this page:

There's also this library, which seems newer than any of the ones on this page:

Answer 2

I don't know python, but I would think that you'd have to have a python library that will read the ID3 tag information from the headers of the mp3 file. That would be a place to start writing a script that could get-set those values.
