NAME
       mp3unicode -- Convert MP3 tags to Unicode

SYNOPSIS
       mp3unicode [options] file1 [file2] [...]

DESCRIPTION
       mp3unicode  MP3Unicode is a command line	utility	to convert ID3 tags in
       mp3 files between different encodings.

       In order	to see the available encodings execute:

	     iconv --list

OPTIONS
       -s, --source-encoding <encoding>
	      Read current mp3 tags assuming they are encoded with <encoding>.
	      <encoding> is either "unicode" or	any valid 8bit encoding.

       -1, --id3v1-encoding <encoding>
	      Write id3v1 tag in <encoding>, if	 <encoding>  is	 "none",  then
	      strip id3v1 tag away. <encoding> may be any valid	8bit encoding,
	      note however that	it is not possible to write id3v1 in Unicode.

       -2, --id3v2-encoding <encoding>
	      Write  id3v2  tag	 in  <encoding>, if <encoding> is "none", then
	      strip id3v2 tag away. <encoding> may be either "unicode" or  any
	      valid 8bit encoding.

       -p, --preserve-unicode
	      If source	encoding is specified to be some specific encoding and
	      not  Unicode,  but the actual encoding seems to be Unicode, then
	      assume it	is Unicode. E.g., if you want  to  process  a  lot  of
	      files,  some of which are	in Unicode (or have Unicode characters
	      somewhere), but some are in cp1251,  just	 issue	-s  cp1251  -p
	      along  with other	options. This should work as you would like it
	      to work.

       -w, --preview
	      Do not modify the	files, instead show the	 tags  that  would  be
	      written. Useful to test specified	options	for correctness.

       -v, --version
	      Prints version number, compilation date and time.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do not report what files have been processed.

EXAMPLE
       mp3unicode     --source-encoding	    cp1251    --id3v1-encoding	  none
       --id3v2-encoding	unicode	file.mp3

       will read id3v2 tag (or id3v1 tag if there is no	id3v2) from the	 file,
       convert	the  text  fields  in  the tag from cp1251 to Unicode and will
       write id3v2 tag back, stripping away id3v1 tag.
