eyed3: Set the album of all the MP3 files in a directory.
$ eyeD3 --album "${Album Name}" ${*-mp3}
try on your machine

This command utilizes the eyeD3 program to edit the metadata of audio files, specifically MP3 files. Here's how each part of the command works:

  1. eyeD3: Refers to the eyeD3 program, a command-line tool for managing and manipulating audio file metadata.
  2. --album "${Album Name}": Specifies the album name metadata field to be modified. "${Album Name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the album. This flag allows you to set the album name for the audio files.
  3. ${*-mp3}: This refers to all the MP3 files within the current directory. The "${*}" syntax represents all the command-line arguments provided after the command, and the "-mp3" part specifies that only MP3 files should be considered.

Overall, this command sets the album name metadata field for all MP3 files within the current directory using the eyeD3 program.
