Does anyone have good examples of using mutagen to write to files? [closed]

Answer 1

Did you check out the examples on the web. Some of these should help you.

[Edit:]

Mutagen tutorial is pretty good, hence did not add more information. dir() provides most of the details.

An example

from mutagen.mp3 import MP3
from mutagen.easyid3 import EasyID3
import mutagen.id3

filename = 'xxx.mp3'

# Example which shows how to automatically add tags to an MP3 using EasyID3

mp3file = MP3(filename, ID3=EasyID3)

try:
    mp3file.add_tags(ID3=EasyID3)
except mutagen.id3.error:
    print("has tags")

mp3file['title'] = 'Newly tagged'
mp3file.save()
print(mp3file.pprint())
