id3v2: Delete all `id3v2` or `id3v1` tags of specific files.
$ id3v2 ${select} ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine

The command "id3v2" is used for manipulating ID3 tags in audio files. The syntax of the command is as follows:

id3v2 ${select} ${filename1 filename2 ---}

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "id3v2": This is the actual command used to invoke the id3v2 program.

  • "${select}": This is a placeholder that represents an option or flag in the command. The specific value of "${select}" determines the action that the id3v2 command will perform. For instance, options like "-l" can be used to list the ID3 tags of the specified audio files.

  • "${filename1 filename2 ---}": These are placeholders for the names of the audio files you want to apply the id3v2 command to. Each filename should be separated by a space. The "---" indicates that you can provide multiple filenames, but it is not mandatory. You can provide just one filename if needed.

In summary, the command "id3v2 ${select} ${filename1 filename2 ---}" is a flexible way to invoke the id3v2 command with different options and filenames to modify or retrieve ID3 tags in audio files.
