Christopher,

The id3convert from the id3lib package is simple to use for this.

----8<----
# id3convert --help
id3convert 1.8
Uses id3lib-3.7.13

This program converts and strips ID3v1/1.1 and Lyrics3 v2.0
tags to ID3v2 tags.

Usage: id3convert [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Converts between id3v1 and id3v2 tags of an mp3 file.

  -1, --v1tag     Render only the id3v1 tag
  -2, --v2tag     Render only the id3v2 tag
  -s, --strip     Strip, rather than render, the tags
  -p, --padding   Use padding in the tag
  -h, --help      Display this help and exit
  -v, --version   Display version information and exit

Will render both types of tag by default.  Only the last
tag type indicated in the option list will be used.  Non-
rendered will remain unchanged in the original file.  Will
also parse and convert Lyrics3 v2.0 frames, but will not
render them.

This, id3tag and id3info command from this package are more useful than
the mp3rename port. Take a look in the audio ports section for more tools.
