I am having some issues with using the id3 (v2) tagging functionality of LAME 3.91. I am running RedHat Linux 7.2, bash shell.
Several questions: 1.) By mere experimentation, I have found that the tag text can be qualified with " or ' characters. However, I have run into a problem...what happens if the tag text _contains_ the " or ' characters? I have been able to get this one scenario to work: -tt 'this is "the tag"' But any ideas on how to get " and ' into the tag? Are there any other text qualifiers that can be used? 2.) At some point in the past, I could swear there was a way to tell LAME to read it's command line options/switches from a file? But I can find no reference to that option now. Perhaps this would be a way around question #1 above? One of the problems seems to be the bash shell interpreting special characters when I am not intending it to. For example: This works fine: lame --add-id3v2 --tt 'this "is the tag!"' But this gives me the following error: lame --add-id3v2 --tt "this is the tag!" bash: !": event not found Remove the ! and of course it works fine: lame --add-id3v2 --tt "this is the tag" On the other hand, this works fine: lame --add-id3v2 --tt 'this is the tag!' Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.
