NAME
       pytags - set and remove tags on media files from filename and options


SYNOPSIS
       pytags [OPTIONS] file [file...]


DESCRIPTION
       pytags is a simple, general-purpose tool for setting and removing media file tags. With no options,
       pytags prints a tag summary for all files specified on the command line. Options can be used to set and
       remove tags on files.

       Using --format, it is easy to change or create tags on by parsing metadata from filenames according to an
       arbitrary format string. This makes it simple to tag files that are consistently named.

       Additionally, tags can be manipulated directly with the --add, --set, and --remove options. These options
       are processed in order, so options specified later on the command-line may cause values set by earlier
       options to be overwritten. These options must appear after the --format, if it is used.


OPTIONS
       --add=EXPR
           Append a tag value all files according to EXPR. EXPR should be an expression like “artist=Foo”. May
           be specified multiple times to add multiple values.

       --format=FORMAT
           Tag files with metadata extrapolated from filenames using format string FORMAT; see the section
           called “FORMAT STRINGS”. This option must be specified before --add, --set, or --remove.

       --set=EXPR
           Set a single tag on all files according to EXPR. EXPR should be an expression like “artist=Foo”. May
           be specified multiple times to set multiple tags.  --set cannot be used to specify multiple values
           for a single tag. To do that, use --remove followed by multiple --add options.

       --remove=TAG
           Remove tags named TAG. May be specified more than once to remove multiple tags.

       -h, --help
           Show summary of options and exit.

       -v, --version
           Show version of program and exit.


FORMAT STRINGS
       The format string expected by --format is the same as that for pytagsfs. See the pytagsfs manual page for
       more information.


EXAMPLES
       Remove the genre tag from all .ogg files in the current directory.

           $ pytags --remove genre *.ogg

       Set the artist and album tag on all .mp3 files, and remove the genre tag.

           $ pytags --set artist=Foo --set album=Bar --remove genre *.mp3

       Tag all of the .flac files in the current directory. All such files are assumed to be in the format
       "tracknum artist - trackname [album].flac".

           $ pytags --format '%n %a - %t [%l].flac' *.flac


BUGS
       Please report bugs on launchpad at http://launchpad.net/products/pytagsfs/+bugs.

       pytags relies on mutagen (the underlying Python tags library) to choose an appropriate tag format for the
       files being tagged. This cannot currently be overridden.
