  • There a programs, "Taggers", that just rename files based on given data or just read the file name as string and write the data from there into the meta data of the file. My files are simply uuids without extensions and empty meta data. I need something that will just write meta data into the files. Going to check also this tool.

    Like id3tag, which comes with id3lib, it seems to jumble up most non-ASCII characters though.

  • You might prefer mid3v2 to id3v2. On Debian-based systems it can be installed with apt install python-mutagen. But that is only for mp3 files, so not the multi-format solution the OP is looking for.

  • The mutagen command line utilities unfortunately corrupt ogg files because they blindly prepend an id3 tag, which is not valid for ogg files. Commented Nov 12, 2022 at 19:02
