[Question] CLI tag adding (track/disk total, engineer, producer) to audio files #118

Open incogthedev opened 3 days ago

Hello,

I was looking to see if there was an option to add track/disc total via CLI at all?

Also, do the engineers/preformer/producer tags not work in audio files?

What's supported depends on the container format and not on whether an audio track is present or not.

Note that most container formats use a combined field for the track/disc position so the total is specified as mentioned in the README example. For Matroska - which is a notable exception - you'll need to specify the totals as separate fields.

Maybe I should add a way to probe what fields are supported in the CLI. For now you can simply use the GUI for that. If a field doesn't show up in the GUI editor despite being configured in the settings dialog it is not supported by the file format.

Since this is probably about Matroska which is unfortunately quite unconventional and thus confusing. So I added a section about Matroska to the README file: https://github.com/Martchus/tageditor?tab=readme-ov-file#matroska-related-remarks

It's actually about audio files like FLAC/MP3/OGG!

Ok, then your question is answered by the examples that were already in the README, just specify e.g. track=5/15 disk=1/2.
