I've been using #eyeD3 for years. I used to use

find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec eyeD3 -Q --add-image=./cover.png:FRONT_COVER {} \;

to add cover art to entire directories of files. Today I accidentally wrote

eyeD3 -Q --add-image=./cover.png:FRONT_COVER ./ 20260508-[name].mp3

and couldn't figure out why every file in the directory was updating.

Then I saw it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Recently, the tagging with #abcde doesn't work anymore. It calls #eyeD3 but it doesn't set the tags because of missing quotes in the call. I'm using the "newest" version on fedora which is from 2019.

Any idea how that happens?

#eyeD3 is an #ID3 #metadata editor.

eyeD3 retrieves and modifies ID3 format metadata in #MP3 files. eyeD3 uses plugins to access and interface with different aspects of the ID3 format, including a default textual tag editor, JSON and XML printer, and album art editor. eyeD3 provides a #Python module.
