I'm sorry, but ExifTool doesn't yet have the ability to write ID3 information.

Hi

It's a pity. Maybe some day you would consider that?

Currently for pretty basic mp3 file tagging and renaming with tags I use 3 separate command line tools :/

I started to add this ability many years ago, but after getting a way into it I discovered that the ID3 specification really sucks in a big way. So this won't be an easy addition.
