This command is a command-line instruction using the "mp3info" tool to modify the metadata of an MP3 file. Here is what each part of the command does:

  • "mp3info" is the name of the tool or program being executed.
  • "-a "${artist_name}"" is an option to set the artist name metadata of the MP3 file. "${artist_name}" is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual artist name you want to set.
  • "-t "${song_title}"" is an option to set the song title metadata of the MP3 file. "${song_title}" is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual title you want to set.
  • "-l "${album_title}"" is an option to set the album title metadata of the MP3 file. "${album_title}" is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual album title you want to set.
  • "-y ${year}" is an option to set the year metadata of the MP3 file. ${year} is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual year you want to set.
  • "-c "${comment_text}"" is an option to set the comment metadata of the MP3 file. "${comment_text}" is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual comment you want to set.
  • "${filename-mp3}" is the placeholder for the name of the MP3 file you want to modify. You would replace it with the actual name or filepath of the MP3 file.

By executing this command with the specific metadata values and MP3 file, you can modify the tags of the MP3 file to reflect the desired artist, song title, album title, year, and comment.
