NAME

mp3info - get information about MPEG audio files  

SYNOPSIS

mp3info  

DESCRIPTION

[OPTION]... FILE...

If called without any options, mp3info will show information about the selected
file.
-p, --plain
Filesizes will be shown as plain bytecounts instead of in human-readable format.
-a, --aggressive
Look for the MPEG header aggressively. You might need this for things with weird headers, but if you do use it then it will take forever if used on something which isn't really an MPEG audio file.
-n, --no-winamp
Don't use WinAmp genres. This will only affect things if you have files with a genre above 78.
-q, --quiet
If you use this option, mp3info will operate in quiet mode. Quiet mode is designed for other programs which need to read the output of mp3info. In quiet mode, mp3info will print only the following:
       bitrate

       play length

       [if there is a valid ID3 tag:]

       ID3 songname

       ID3 artist

       ID3 album

       ID3 year

       ID3 comment

       ID3 genre


Think of quiet mode as generating machine-readable output and the default "noisy" mode as generating human-readable output.
-m, --milliseconds
Include milliseconds in play-time output.
-v, --version
Display the version and exit.
--help
Show information about mp3gui
