#96 kid3-cli -- write ID3v24 directly (wihout having to write ID3v23 and converting to ID3v24)??

[J G Miller]

kid3-cli can be used to convert ID3v23 tags to ID3v24 with

  kid3-cli -c "tag 2"  -c "select all" -c "to24"  "${mp3_file}"

and I have just upgraded to kid 3.7.0 but I cannot find a way to directly write ID3v24 tags without first writing ID3v23 and then converting to ID3v24.

Have I overlooked something?

If not, please can you add this feature to kid3-cli for the next release?

This can be set in the configuration. The problem is that there are no commands in kid3-cli to modify the configuration. But you have two possiblities:

• The configuration is shared with kid3-qt, so just start kid3-qt and set in the "Tags/Tag 2" tab of the settings the value of "Version used for new tags" to "ID3v2.4.0".
• Directly edit the configuration file ~/.config/Kid3/Kid3.conf: Change in the section [Tags] the value of ID3v2Version from 0 to 1.
