The original use-case of id3edit was to inspect and repair broken tags. This is why the application expects only a single file. Still, your use-case is quiet reasonable, so I will make this ticket a feature request :)
It might be not that easy to implement, because parameters like --set-name
make no sense in such cases.
There is a good Linux-Style way to perform batch-processing files with id3edit (or any other application even if the application does not support processing multiple files at once: find
. (One might call this a workaround.)
find . -name "*.mp3" -exec id3edit --set-genre "Folk" {} \;
# Find all mp3 files in the current directory and its sub directory.
# Execute a command line (from -exec to \;) for each found file,
# and place its path (of the found file) at the location of {}.
I hope the find
-solution helps you.
Due to too may hobbies and work, you better not wait for batch-processing being implemented in id3edit

Thanks so much for your answer :) Yes I used the find "way" for now. Really nice software, the help menu is just "wow" :)
I try to batch update the genre of a whole directory:
But it doesn't seem to work... Any additional argument to use ?
