Don�t know if this is the right group to ask this question, if
not, please point me to the right direction. :)

ID3 mass tagger is a small freeware command line utility for
manipulating id3 and id3v2 tags to mp3 files. I�ve played around
with it a little and it seems really powerful.

Now, it is capable of generating tag fields from the filename, but
whatever I try, I just can�t get it to work. I�ve googled around
with no luck either. I�m trying to generate tags from this path:

genre\[year] artist - album\trackname title.mp3

This is the website, including some examples (but it lacks the
filename option, damn!).

Yes, I�m familiar with tagging programs -- there are zillions out
there! :)

But I�m searching for a (Windows) command line program for use in
a batch file, AND capable of WRITING ID3v2.

One should think there are many also, but yet, "ID3 mass tager" is
the only one I�ve found -- and looks promising. Now if I only
could figure out how to generate tags from filenames ...

1.IME the most common fault of commandline programs is an incorrect
syntax being used. EG: are you using " " (double quotes) correctly?

2.please supply an EXACT example of the syntax you say does not work.

Try MP3Tag... why type when you can point and click? It's very powerful and will rename the files
in any order you want from whatever metadata you want.

This is for v2.46... I'm at v2.44 and it works really well.
