:Manual section: 1


SYNOPSIS
========

**mid3cp** [*options*] *source* *dest*


DESCRIPTION
===========

**mid3cp** copies the ID3 tags from a source file to a destination file.

It is designed to provide similar functionality to id3lib's id3cp tool, and can
optionally write ID3v1 tags. It can also exclude specific tags from being
copied.


OPTIONS
=======

--verbose, -v
    Be verbose: state all operations performed, and list tags in source file.

--write-v1
    Write ID3v1 tags to the destination file, derived from the ID3v2 tags.

--exclude-tag, -x
    Exclude a specific tag from being copied. Can be specified multiple times.

--merge
    Copy over frames instead of replacing the whole ID3 tag. The tag version
    of *dest* will be used. In case *dest* has no ID3 tag this option has no
    effect.
