I am looking for a command-line tool for Windows that will allow me to set the ID3 tags on an MP3 file.

For example, something like this would be ideal:

C:\> setID3.exe myfile.mp3 -artist "The Smashing Pumpkins" -album "Siamese Dream" -title Mayonaise -track 9 -year 1993

(The reason for this is that my MP3 files are named in a few specific nomenclatures. I have already written a Perl script that can intelligently determine what nomenclature the file name is in, and parse out the correct values. I'd like to then fire off a command-line utility to update that MP3 file.)

Thank You! This is exactly what I wanted. I have searched and searched Google but only found big, oversized apps with GUIs. – Kip Sep 19 '08 at 14:56
I don't have the rep to comment but the link for home page for the developer of the accepted solution is no longer available. You can still download it though from Softpedia here. – ObligatoryMoniker Nov 27 '10 at 18:43
