Hey, I grabbed the CC python command line tagging tools and hacked it a little to make it work and a little bit easier to use. I could send it to you in a tgz if you’d like. I modified cct.py (renamed cct-file.py) so you can call it: python cct-file.py -f license.txt filename
In this example license.txt is the following:
Holder: Chris Colvard
Year: 2006
License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/
Validation: http://elwoodthegreat.no-ip.org/license.txt
and filename is the name of the file to be tagged (either mp3 or ogg).
The file holding the license is just convenience over having to put all of that info as options to cct.py. Should be pretty easy to tag things in mass now.
Correcting my previous comment: it doesn’t support ogg yet. I looked again and the class exists but is empty at the moment…I guess I’ll have to hack it to give it wider support.
