mp3fixer

An embarrassing script that works pretty well for making mp3 filename and id3v1/v2 info all consistent.

Requires the id3v2 command line tool.

#!/bin/bash

TEMPFILE=/tmp/mp3fixer.out.$$

    [ x"$title" = x ] && title=$2
    id3v2 -t "$title" "$file"
    v1title=$title
    v2title=$title
    v1artist=$artist
    v2artist=$artist
}

CheckFileName()
{
  OldFileName=""
  NewFileName="$artist - $title.mp3"
  if [ x"$file" != x"$NewFileName" ]

    read -e -p "  Please enter new filename ($NewFileName): " OldFileName
