mid3v2: Set specific year information.
$ id3v2 --year=${YYYY} ${filename1-mp3 filename2-mp3 ---}
try on your machine

This command uses the id3v2 tool to set the 'year' tag of multiple MP3 files to a specific value. Let's break it down:

  1. id3v2: This is the name of the command/tool that is being executed. It is used to manipulate ID3 tags of MP3 files.

  2. --year=${YYYY}: This part of the command is an option to set the 'year' tag of the MP3 files. ${YYYY} is a placeholder for a specific year value that needs to be provided when running the command. Replace ${YYYY} with the desired year. For example, --year=2021 will set the 'year' tag of the MP3 files to 2021.

  3. ${filename1-mp3 filename2-mp3 ---}: This is a placeholder for the filenames of the MP3 files you want to modify. Replace filename1-mp3, filename2-mp3, etc. with the actual filenames of the MP3 files you want to edit. You can specify multiple filenames separated by spaces.

So, when you run this command with the appropriate values filled in, it will modify the 'year' tag of the specified MP3 files to the provided year.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
