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 how-
	    ever 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 op-
	    tions. This should work as you would like it to work.

     -w, --preview
	    Do not modify the files, instead show the tags that would  be  writ-
	    ten. 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, con-
     vert the text fields in the tag from cp1251 to Unicode and will write id3v2
     tag back, stripping away id3v1 tag.
