You could use the perl library /usr/ports/audio/p5-MP3-Info. The following
snippet shows how I did it:
# Now remove ID3v{1,2} tags
my $tag = get_mp3tag($filename);
if (defined($tag)) {
# make a backup
my $backupname = $filename . ".BAK";
system("cp", $filename, $backupname);
my $bytes = remove_mp3tag($filename, "ALL");
if (!defined($bytes)) {
# restore backup
system("mv", "-f", $backupname, $filename);
dowarn("could not remove ID3 tag from $path");
} elsif ($bytes == -1) {
# restore backup
system("mv", "-f", $backupname, $filename);
dowarn("no ID3 tag found in $path, should not happen");
} else {
system("rm", $backupname);
dowarn("mp3 changed ($path): tag of $bytes bytes " .
"removed");
}
}
