ID3 tag is a metadata container which supplies related information for a MP3 audio file. It allows the information such as the title, artist, album, track number, etc. to be stored in the file itself. The idest utility allows to create new tags, and to view, modify or delete the existing ones. When compiled with Guile, IdEst allows to write programs of arbitrary complexity for manipulating ID3 tags and to apply them to any number of files. * Building The usual sequence applies: ./configure ./make ./make install Refer to the INSTALL file for information about generic configure options. The options specific for this package are: ** --with-guile This option enables Guile support. It is the default. Guile is the base of IdEst scripting facility. A Guile version 1.8.3 or later is required for this option to work. To compile without Guile support, use --without-guile. * Bug reporting.
