id3inspect

id3inspect

This is a small command line tool for viewing ID3 media information.

Usage

Just give it a file name and it will print everything it can find about the file in the stdout

$ id3inspect 06.Some.People.mp3
Title:  Some People
Artist: Goldfrapp
Album:  Seventh Tree
Year:   2008
Track:  6
Length: 4m40s
Genre:  Electronic
Samplerate: 44100
Bitrate:    222 KB

Installation

As any simple go program, you can just use go get:

go get github.com/ironsmile/id3inspect

and you are good to go.

Why?

I haven't found any suitable way of viewing the meta information for a random MP3 files in OSX. In Finder, iTunes or otherwise. This tool displays everything I need. Users of Linux distros and Windows would probably find it useless as their GUI file managers show the same information easily.
