Last time I looked (and I may be way out of date) the instructions seemed 
generic (i.e. for more file types than just mp3).

The reason I know so little is that --for Linux at least-- there is a nice 
command line utility "mp3info" that is specific for mp3s. Being command line 
you can label whole folders or other batches (which you generally want for 
most of the tags) and then apply any file-specific tags file-by-file.

Sorry to not push SoX, but metadata is so file-type specific I feel you are 
probably better off with a type specific utility . . .
