NAME
mid3cp - copy ID3 tags
SYNOPSIS
mid3cp [options] source dest
DESCRIPTION
mid3cp copies the ID3 tags from a source file to a destination file.
It is designed to provide similar functionality to id3lib's id3cp tool,
and can optionally write ID3v1 tags. It can also exclude specific tags
from being copied.
OPTIONS
--verbose, -v
Be verbose: state all operations performed, and list tags in
source file.
--write-v1
Write ID3v1 tags to the destination file, derived from the ID3v2
tags.
--exclude-tag, -x
Exclude a specific tag from being copied. Can be specified multi-
ple times.
--merge
Copy over frames instead of replacing the whole ID3 tag. The tag
version of dest will be used. In case dest has no ID3 tag this
option has no effect.
