Title: error: writing of mp3 is not supportet yet
Post by: ersteinmal on September 25, 2011, 02:43:39 PM
Hi!

I think the problem is the "writingprotection" which I have on my Exended Disk and will not disappear.

I use the GUI and I like to change the Author in mp3 files which I produces with "free audio Converter" (bonk).

XP, newest Exiftool, newest Exif GUI.

regards Carsten

Hi Carsten,

As far I know, Exiftool can show mp3 metadata, but doesn't write that data:
http://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/MPEG.html#Audio
-here, tags are marked as N(ot) writable.

I understand. But ExifTool can't change Artist tag inside MP3 -it can do that only for (Exif) photo files.
To change metadata inside MP3 files, you might try WinAmp or Mp3tag tool.

Greetings,
Bogdan

Reading the mp3 tags is nice! Thank you.
It would be perfect, if we could write it too. Especially the id3v2.3-version.
