ID3 Version Converter - Convert MP3 tags between ID3v1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4

ID3 Version Converter inspects the real ID3 header of your MP3 files and converts their tags between ID3v1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 in batches. A lightweight Linux alternative to Kid3 for converting ID3v1 tags to ID3v2 and moving files between ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4.

Key Features:

  • Library scan: shows on-disk ID3v2 version (2.2 / 2.3 / 2.4), tag size, ID3v1 footer presence, frame count, title, artist and album for every MP3, plus a frame viewer (real frame IDs such as TYER or TDRC).
  • Convert ID3v2 to 2.3 (widest player compatibility) or 2.4 (UTF-8), with proper frame translation (for example TDRC to TYER/TDAT/TIME), optionally refreshing an ID3v1 footer.
  • Copy ID3v1 to ID3v2 (fill missing frames), write ID3v1 from ID3v2, remove ID3v1 or ID3v2 tags.
  • Every change is verified by re-reading the file; originals are backed up first and the last batch can be restored.
  • CSV report export, bilingual (Vietnamese / English) donate bar. Powered by the mutagen library.

Notes: works on files on your own disks only. Make a backup of irreplaceable files before bulk edits.
