View and edit Ogg Opus comments.
opustags supports the following features:
opustags is designed to be fast and as conservative as possible, to the point that if you edit tags then edit them again to their previous values, you should get a bit-perfect copy of the original file. No under-the-cover operation like writing "edited with opustags" or timestamp tagging will ever be performed.
opustags is tag-agnostic: you can write arbitrary key-value tags, and none of them will be treated specially. After all, common tags like TITLE or ARTIST are nothing more than conventions.
The project’s homepage is located at https://github.com/fmang/opustags.
The version numbers are indicative, and it's very likely opustags will build and work fine with other versions too, as CMake and libogg are quite mature.
opustags is a commonplace CMake project.
Here's how to install it in your .local
, under your home:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local ..
make
make install
Note that you don't need to install opustags in order to run it, as the executable is standalone.
