The command "mp3info -G" is used to display the ID3v2 tag information of an MP3 file.

ID3 tags are metadata containers embedded within MP3 files that store information about the audio track, such as the title, artist, album, genre, track number, year, and more. These tags enable media players and other software to organize and display relevant information about the audio file.

The "mp3info" command is a software utility used to manipulate and view information about MP3 files. The "-G" option specifically asks mp3info to display the ID3v2 tag information, if any, present in the MP3 file specified.

By executing this command, you can retrieve details about the ID3v2 tags associated with an MP3 file, including the title, artist, album, track number, genre, and other relevant information.
