Did you ever want to access the ID3 Tags on cli or use that knowledge in a ruby script?

Here is how it works:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘mp3info’

puts “Loading file: #{ARGV[0]}:”

begin

Mp3Info.open ARGV[0] do |f|
puts “Artist: \t#{f.tag.artist}”
puts “Title: \t\t#{f.tag.title}”
puts “Album: \t\t#{f.tag.album}”
puts “Tracknum: \t#{f.tag.tracknum}”
puts “Discnum: \t#{f.tag2.TPOS}”
puts “Genre: \t\t#{f.tag.genre_s}”
end

rescue Mp3InfoError
puts “Cannot open file.”
end
