MP3 Question

If you encode mp3s using iTunes encoder the resulting mp3 file will have a tag named encoded by .

the content fo this tag will be the name of the mp3 encoder in this case iTunes X 2.0.4

QUESTION: Is there anyone can post how (and with wich program) to strip this information ??

I'm using mp3 Rage but it seems to not support this function

Thanks a lot
 
This should work on files that already have the TEN tag (so don't use the previous command to erase the TEN tags!):
sudo perl -i -pe "s/(TEN.+)iTunes.+v\d\.\d/\1Music by Zeus/" /path/to/file.mp3

One could replace "Music by Zeus" with whatever they want to see. As before, you can do this for a whole folder of mp3's by repacing "/path/to/file.mp3" with "/path/to/mp3folder/*".:

For me it doesn't work !!

Can you check the command syntax please??

Thanks !!
 
I've read your last post just now ....
a little bit late ... infact yesterday night i've tryed the command on a couple of mp3 files ... and apparenly it was all right.

So i've applyed the command on all my mp3 files and ... even if they were all encoded with iTunes 2.0.x and all tag were in 2.3 vers. ....

the perl command has destryed the bitrate tag

so all the VBR files are now unusable.

P.S. all the mp3 files encoded with non iTunes encoder appeares to have no tag ....

i've already fixed the problem by reecoding all the mp3 so now is all ok .... but i still don't like to see the 'encoded by' tag !!! :-))))

any other ideas (different from using Winamp and manually change about 4.7 Gb of mp3 songs) ???


thanks
