ID3 Tag Editor

This project is a simple ID3 tag editor for MP3 files, written in Python. It consists of a core library for reading ID3 tag data and a graphical user interface (GUI) for viewing and editing the tags.

Components

• id3.py: A library for parsing ID3v2 tags from MP3 files. It can read metadata such as title, artist, and album.
• id3_editor.py: A GUI application built with PyQt5 that allows users to select a directory, view all the MP3 files within it, and see their corresponding ID3 tag information.

Dependencies

The GUI application requires the PyQt5 library. You can install it using pip:

pip install PyQt5

Usage

To run the ID3 tag editor, execute the id3_editor.py script:

python3 id3_editor.py

This will open a window where you can select a directory containing your MP3 files. The application will then list all the MP3s, and you can click on a file to view its title, artist, and album information.

Note: The save functionality is not yet implemented.

ID3 Standard

The text files included in the repository (id3v2.4.0-*.txt) contain detailed information about the ID3v2.4.0 standard, which this application is based on. They describe the structure of ID3 tags, the different frames available, and the changes from previous versions.
