This is a small utility program to fix 'text tags values' (ID3v1, ID3v2) in my old music files I have in my collection. Those files have an incorrect, non utf8 encoding inside tags. The tags ID3v2, ID3v1 are supported: title, artist, album, genre, comment.
When incorrect meta-info was found, detected and fixed inside ID3v1, it will be fixed and written inside ID3v2 tags because the ID3v1 doesn't support utf8 encoding.
Currently only one approach for checking and updating encoding is implemented, but that can be improved by adding more logic.
The program scans files in folder, try to check if tags have an incorrect encoding values, reports the results in a 'dry-run' mode by default without physical file changes. Then you can run it in the mode of modification tags values and updating files on disk. Modification is done by reading, checking invalid encoding, updating value to utf8, writing new tag value to file and writing file back to disk.
That only checks if there are incorrect tags values inside music files.
cargo run -- --dir ./music
./fix_music_tags --dir ./music
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -- --dir ./music
RUST_LOG=info cargo run -- --dir "./music/folder with/empty spaces/"
RUST_LOG=info ./fix_music_tags --dir "./music/folder with/empty spaces/"
That command (with --dry-run false ) runs and rewrites music files with new values.
cargo run -- --dir "./music/folder with/empty spaces/" --dry-run false
./fix_music_tags --dir "./music/folder with/empty spaces/" --dry-run false
