The command you provided is using the "id3v2" tool to modify the ID3 tags of multiple MP3 files.

Let's break down the command:

"id3v2": This is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed. It is used to manipulate ID3 tags in MP3 files.
"--date=${YYYY-MM-DD}": This part is an option for the "id3v2" command. It sets the "date" or "year" field in the ID3 tags of the MP3 files. The value is specified using the format "${YYYY-MM-DD}", which means you need to replace the "YYYY-MM-DD" with the actual date, e.g., "2022-01-15". This option ensures that the specified date is added to the ID3 tags of the MP3 files.
"${filename1-mp3 filename2-mp3 ---}": This represents the list of MP3 files that you want to modify. You need to replace "filename1-mp3", "filename2-mp3", etc., with the actual filenames of the MP3 files you want to target. If you have multiple files, you can separate them with spaces. The "---" at the end is used to indicate the end of the filenames list.

To summarize, this command will use the "id3v2" tool to add a specific date to the ID3 tags of multiple MP3 files.
